Petersburgh

William C. Webster, who grew up on the family farm on Armsby Road in Petersburgh, has published his third book, a work of fiction entitled Wentworth Rock.  A sequel to his first two books, the story is centered in rural areas of Vermont and New Hampshire and holds fast to the Jeffersonian ideals that characterized his previous works.
Webster attended the tiny, one room Petersburgh School District Number Three for his elementary years.  After graduating from Hoosick Falls Central School in 1962, he attended Susquehanna University, where he received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in history and government.  He earned a Master of Arts Degree in history from East Stroudsburg University and taught history, government and economics in the Delaware Valley School District for thirty years.
