Harry W. Dodge

Harry W. Dodge, often credited as Harry W. Dodge, Jr., wrote a series of geology guides for Vermont state parks. Sources available online connect him with titles including The Geology of Calvin Coolidge State Forest, The Geology of Button Bay State Park, The Geology of Darling State Park, and The Geology of D.A.R. State Park, Mt. Philo State Forest Park, Sand Bar State Park.

The books were published through Vermont state agencies, including the Vermont Geological Survey and the Department of Forests and Parks, and were designed for general readers visiting these landscapes. That mix of public education and local science gives his work a practical, welcoming feel: the goal was not just to document geology, but to help people notice what they were seeing around them.

Reliable biographical details about his life are limited in the sources I could confirm during this search, so this overview stays focused on his published work and its setting. I also couldn’t confirm a suitable portrait image from a reliable page, so no profile photo is included.
