About the author
Harry W. Dodge Jr. wrote a series of geology guides for Vermont state parks, including works on Button Bay State Park, Calvin Coolidge State Forest, and D.A.R., Mt. Philo, and Sand Bar state parks. The books were published through Vermont state agencies, including the Vermont Geological Survey and the Department of Forests and Parks, mainly in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
His writing appears to have been aimed at park visitors as much as specialists. Rather than treating geology as an abstract subject, he used familiar places in Vermont to explain rock formations, fossils, glacial change, and the long natural history behind the landscape.
Reliable biographical details about his personal life are scarce in the sources I found, so the work itself stands out most clearly: concise, educational books that made local geology easier to see and appreciate.
