At age 30, he owned the Danby Store in Danby, Vermont. Slight of body, but vital, he built a logging and charcoal-making empire, established company stores and boarding houses and kilns in Danby, Mount Tabor, Dorset, Manchester, Peru, East Arlington and Stratton. His 12 sawmills cut 50 million feet of lumber a year.\u003cbr\u003eTo this day, his name and his memory live on as Rothman brings Silas alive, without diminishing the spirit of the traditions he created. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBesides Griffith's tale, the book is also a story of 19th century America, its scandals, politics, business, legal, medical and spiritual values and activities as well as a critical commentary on the accuracy of historical sources.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 372\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.77 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 07, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52448617464115,"sku":"9781605716169","price":59.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/TFJxb2FaWmJQbGRKNnRITG9rcjRmUT09.webp?v=1759042604","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/silas-lapham-griffith-the-santa-claus-bandit-vermonts-first-millionaire-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
