About the author
Harry W. Dodge, often credited as Harry W. Dodge, Jr., is known for a small body of geology writing focused on Vermont state parks. Project Gutenberg lists multiple works under his name, including The Geology of Button Bay State Park, and surviving editions identify him with the Vermont Geological Survey and the Vermont Development Department.
His best-known work, published in 1962, explains the geological history of Button Bay State Park on Lake Champlain in straightforward terms. Rather than writing for specialists alone, Dodge presented the landscape in a way that could help campers, hikers, and park visitors understand how glaciers, clay deposits, and changing shorelines shaped the place around them.
Reliable biographical information about his life appears to be scarce, so many personal details remain unclear. Based on the available records, he is best remembered as a practical science writer whose park guides brought Vermont geology to a general audience.
