  • Summary

  • This episode of the Brattleboro Words Trail Podcast was written, narrated and produced Lissa Weinmann. Audio Editing was by Sally Seymour. The Voice of Dr. Wesselhoeft is Ned Childs. Voice of Abby Estey was Elery Loggia. Mastering was by Guilford Sound with final podcast editing by Alec Pombriant.

    Wesselhoeft quotes were taken from Wesselhoeft comments in various editions of his ‘Green Mountain Spring' newspaper. Abby Estey Fuller quotes were from her ‘Daughters of the American Revolution’ speech published in 1928.

    Info on Wesselhoeft’s early life was thanks to Starr Willard Cuttings’ “The History of Robert Wesselhoeft’ original manuscripts in Brooks Memorial Library rare documents division.

    This podcast was supported by a Digital Capacities Grant from the VT arts council and the National Endowment for the Humanities.

    Abby Estey's description of the various watercure paths is from an address to the Daughters of the American Revolution in 1912 which was published in 1928.

    Jerry Carbone created a database of Wesselhoeft clients over a three year span, see: https://dbnews.americanancestors.org/2019/01/29/new-database-brattleboro-vt-wesselhoeft-water-cure-1845-1848/
