Excerpt from Sam Lovel's Camps: Uncle Lisha's Friends Under Bark and Canvas, A Sequel to Uncle Lisha's Shop Tun Yankee is everywhere, and everywhere is heard his nasal drawl asking a question or answering one. But it is a sign that the manner of his speech is changing that to some readers of Uncle Lisha's Shop who are unacquainted with a dialect once common in Vermont, and as yet by no means uncommon in portions of the State, the meaning of some words and phrases used by the old cobbler and his neighbors has not been clear. For the benefit of such readers of this volume it may not be amiss to explain at the outset some forms of speech that are least likely to be understood by them.
