More DescriptionEthan Allen is one of the great folk heroes of the American Revolution. But he did not become a legend all by himself. The Green Mountain Boys, the freedom-loving landowners who fought beside him, share the story of this daring patriot. Even before the victorious Battle of Fort Ticonderoga, Allen and the Green Mountain Boys were well known for defending settlers-- rights in the part of the country now known as Vermont. Often acting without orders or permission, Allen and his Boys fought bravely in the war for America's independence from England. But the passing of over two hundred years has blurred the lines between fact and fiction about Ethan Allen and his men. A deeper understanding of the events of Allen's lifetime helps us understand the man behind this larger-than-life hero and his mighty Green Mountain Boys.
