| Summary |
"Marco Paul's Voyages and Travels: Vermont" by Jacob Abbott is a children's adventure novel written in the early 19th century. The book follows the journey of Marco Paul, a young boy, as he travels under the guidance of his cousin Forester, exploring the landscapes and cultural features of Vermont while engaging in various educational activities designed to enhance his knowledge and character development. At the start of the narrative, Marco is introduced as a twelve-year-old child whose father intends for him to improve his health through travel and outdoor exercises while still maintaining his studies. Marco and Forester embark on their journey by stage-coach, navigating the beautiful scenery along the Connecticut River and eventually encountering various characters, including a sailor who becomes a focal point of Marco's interest. The opening chapters establish the framework of their travels, the interactions with other travelers, and Marco's growing curiosity about the world around him, setting the stage for the adventures and lessons they will encounter during their time in Vermont.
