Book Description
Excerpt from The Battle of Bennington: An Address Before the Vermont Historical Society The attempt of Hon. 8. D. Locke in the April, 1892, number of the National Magazine of American His tory, to change the long established and accepted facts connected with the Battle of Bennington, is a marked specimen of perseverance in the perversion of history. That those unacquainted with all the facts, who may not have easy access to the history made and noted at the time, or shortly after its happening, may fully under stand it, a review of the article at some length may not be inappropriate. While sometimes it may appear to the conservative mind to be too aggressive, considering the long quiet which has reigned between the Grants and the Yorkers, the excuse is, that the provocation has been given and can only be fairly met by considering some things, that by common consent have for many years been left to rest, and it has been hoped might remain forever in repose. And, though matters may be treated which had better not be, except for the challenge offered and in the interest of a proper understanding of all the facts in their several bearings, still will it be in a spirit of fairness, and with a desire to allay rather than to foster division and prejudice. The endeavor will be before closing, to leave nothing about the story of the battle, but truth relieved of theory and imagination. The paper begins with stating, that, much that has been written as history, even by our best equipped writers, is confused with error or quite false. And, as illustrating his meaning by conspicuous examples. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Pages : 320
Book Description
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.

Book Description
Historian Richard M. Ketchum's Saratoga vividly details the turning point in America's Revolutionary War. In the summer of 1777 (twelve months after the Declaration of Independence) the British launched an invasion from Canada under General John Burgoyne. It was the campaign that was supposed to the rebellion, but it resulted in a series of battles that changed America's history and that of the world. Stirring narrative history, skillfully told through the perspective of those who fought in the campaign, Saratoga brings to life as never before the inspiring story of Americans who did their utmost in what seemed a lost cause, achieving what proved to be the crucial victory of the Revolution.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Bennington Battle Monument: Its Story and Its Meaning Hundreds of thousands of people visit the Bennington Battle Monument in the course of each year. They come from all the States in the Union, and, not intre quently, from other lands. In the summer of 1924. More than persons paid the modest fee charged for permission to climb to the upper landing and lookout. It is probably an under-estimate of the facts to suggest that for every visitor who takes the trouble to make that climb there are ten who do not. These are content to look at the monument from outside, to enjoy the View from the ground, or to step just inside the door. It is a common occurrence for large parties to arrive, one or two individuals only making the ascent, the others te maining below. It is quite evident from the foregoing that the monument is an object of great interest to a large number Of people.
