| Summary | "Ethan Allen, the Robin Hood of Vermont" by Henry Hall is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the life of Ethan Allen, a prominent figure known for his leadership of the Green Mountain Boys and his role during the American Revolution. It aims to provide a thorough examination of Allen's character and contributions, setting him apart from the various narratives that have evaluated him over the years. At the start of the book, the author introduces Ethan Allen as a symbolic figure comparable to Robin Hood, emphasizing his defiance against oppression and foreign rule. The opening portrays Allen’s early life, including his family background and the controversies surrounding his legacy, including conflicting opinions about his character and actions. This section sets the stage for a deeper exploration of Ethan Allen’s complex life as both a local and national hero, as well as a figure often misrepresented in historical accounts. The narrative hints at the challenges Allen faced, including legal battles against New York's claims to Vermont land, and introduces readers to the tumultuous political landscape of the time.
