A gripping story of stubborn pioneers and the birth of a republic The Green Mountain Boys returns to print, restored and reborn by Alpha Editions. Philip H. Smith s vivid account follows the fearless Vermont militia led by Ethan Allen and his compatriots as they clash with New York land jobbers and British authority in 18th century America.
