Title: The revolution within the Revolution
Review: Yes, my name really is Ethan Allen. This is an excellently researched and well documented account about a very little known chapter of the American Revolution. The book is the story of Vermont's struggle for statehood. It explores the economic, social, and political pressures that led Vermonters to create their own government in spite of threats from Enland, New York, and Continental Congress. This book is a good study of how government derives its power from the people. The reading is a little slow at times, but good history often is, and this is more than worth the effort.
