Descriere magazin:
The myth and the reality of Ethan Allen and the much-loved Green Mountain Boys of Vermont--a surprising and interesting new account...useful, informative reexamination of an often-misunderstood aspect of the American Revolution ( Booklist ). In the highly recommended ( Library Journal ) Those Turbulent Sons of Freedom , Wren overturns the myth of Ethan Allen as a legendary hero of the American Revolution and a patriotic son of Vermont and offers a different portrait of Allen and his Green Mountain Boys. They were ruffians who joined the rush for cheap land on the northern frontier of the colonies in the years before the American Revolution. Allen did not serve in the Continental Army but he raced Benedict Arnold for the famous seizure of Britain\'s Fort Ticonderoga. Allen and Arnold loathed each other. General George Washington, leery of Allen, refused to give him troops. In a botched attempt to capture Montreal against specific orders of the commanding American general, Allen was captured in 1775 and shipped to England to be hanged. Freed in 1778, he spent the rest of his time negotiating with the British but failing to bring Vermont back under British rule. A worthy addition to the canon of works written about this fractious period in this country\'s history ( Addison County Independent ), this is a groundbreaking account of an important and little-known front of the Revolutionary War, of George Washington (and his good sense), and of a major American myth. Those Turbulent Sons of Freedom is an engrossing ( Publishers Weekly ) and essential contribution to the history of the American Revolution.
