The Great Chazy River runs through the heart of Champlain, making it an inviting location for early settlers on the Northern frontier. Once known for a graceful main street lined with stately elms, it was primarily an agricultural community with other supporting industries, including one of the country's first ski manufacturers, a boatyard, and iron and metalworking factories; such a peaceful image belies the bloody past of Champlain, as it was on the front lines for the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, and even the Civil War. \u003ci\u003eChamplain\u003c\/i\u003e chronicles the town and village through images of its homes, businesses, churches, and people of the past century and a half.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/13\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738545479\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 127\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.22h x 6.56w x 0.35d","brand":"Kimberely J.
