Leader of the Green Mountain Boys, hero of Ticonderoga, defender of independent Vermont, and the New England frontier’s version of Daniel Boone or Davy Crockett, Ethan Allen was also a prolific and passionate writer. Based on his 2005 book with H. Nicholas Muller III, The Quotable Ethan Allen, Kevin Graffagnino’s lecture offers a representative selection of Ethan’s fiery rhetoric on the Yankee v. Yorker struggle for control of Vermont, the American Revolution, theology, the rights of man, and other subjects that attracted his attention. Anyone who’s encountered Ethan Allen in early American history will enjoy this encounter with Ethan in his own words.
