"Green Mountain Boys: Defenders of Liberty and Champions of the American Revolution" The Green Mountain Boys, led by the fearless Ethan Allen, were a group of patriots who played a crucial role in securing America's independence. Their unwavering determination and bravery made them legendary figures in the annals of history. In 1775, Fort Ticonderoga fell to the Americans under the command of Ethan Allen. This victory not only provided much-needed supplies like gunpowder to Boston but also boosted morale among the colonists. A colored engraving from the 19th century depicts Ethan Allen imprisoned after his capture by British forces in Montreal that same year. Brigadier General John Stark emerged as another prominent leader within this valiant band. At the Battle of Bennington in Vermont on August 16, 1777, he directed victorious American forces against British troops. A steel engraving from 1859 captures this historic moment beautifully with Alonzo Chappel's painting. These brave soldiers fought for freedom and justice during one of America's most challenging times. Line and stipple engravings from the 19th century depict various American Revolutionary officers clad in their uniforms, showcasing their dedication to their cause. Their legacy lives on through depictions such as wood engravings based on statues honoring these heroes' memory. The capture of Fort Ticonderoga on May 10, 1775 is immortalized through a steel engraving dating back to the same century. The Green Mountain Boys embodied resilience and sacrifice throughout their revolutionary journey. They stood tall against adversity, fighting for liberty with every ounce of strength they possessed. These men exemplified what it meant to be true patriots – defending their homeland with unyielding courage until victory was achieved.
