Norwich University, the first private college to teach engineering, was established in 1819 by Alden Partridge, a graduate of West Point, as the American Literary, Scientific, and Military Academy. As early as 1821, civil engineering was taught. In 1834, it was renamed Norwich University. The present pamphlet chronicles a journey from Norwich to Whitehall, New York to Burlington, Vermont to Plattsburgh, New York, returning to Norwich by way of Vergennes, Middlebury and Royalton, Vermont.
