Biography
Ethan Allen was born in Litchfield, Connecticut, the first child of Joseph and Mary Baker Allen. Ethan was the oldest of the eight children. He was the only one to be born in Litchfield, since the family moved to Cornwall shortly after his birth. His brother, Ira, figured prominently in the early history of Vermont. Joseph Allen was the leader of a rebellious group of land owners and speculators who held New Hampshire title to land grants in the New Hampshire Grants. New York, which held substantial claim to the area, refused to honor the New Hampshire titles and sold competing titles to different people, who generally did not live in Vermont. This led to open rebellion among the population in much of Vermont. In April of 1755, Joseph Allen died, leaving Ethan to take care of the family farm and title claims, which made him very upset.

Allen was well over six feet tall, in a time when most men were almost a foot shorter. He was outspoken and apparently quite articulate. At the age of 24, he served in the colonial military in the French and Indian War. He was married and had five children. In the early 1770s, he emerged as the military leader of Anti-New York dissidents, known as the Green Mountain Boys, who were fighting New York over the New Hampshire grants. He and The Green Mountain Boys successfully carved out the Republic (1777-1791) and later the State of Vermont. A warrant was issued for his arrest by the government of New York, for the substantial reward of 100 pounds.

In the spring of 1775, following the beginning of the American Revolutionary War, Allen and Benedict Arnold led a raid to capture Fort Ticonderoga. The relative roles of Allen and Arnold are not entirely clear. Nor is it clear to what extent the campaign was formulated by the strongly anti-British faction in Connecticut, to what extent it was the idea of the Green Mountain Boys headquartered at the Catamount Tavern in Bennington. What is clear is that the rebels moved north, managed to get a few dozen men across Lake Champlain (they had considerable trouble finding a boat and the one they found was quite small). In a dawn attack, Ticonderoga was taken from the small British garrison that held it and who were apparently not aware that the war had started. Allen/Arnold's rebels also quickly captured forts at Crown Point, Fort Ann on Isle La Motte near the present Canadian border, and (temporarily) the town of St John (now Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec). The huge stores of cannon and powder seized at Ticonderoga allowed the American rebels to break the stalemate at the siege of Boston, which caused the British to evacuate the city in March 1776.


Ethan had five children with his first wife, Mary Brownson: Loraine (1763-1783), Joseph (1765-1777), Lucy Caroline (1768-1842), Mary Ann (1772-1790), and Pamela (1779-1809). Ethan's marriage to Mary, who was several years older than he, does not seem to have been particularly happy. Mary died of consumption in 1783, a few months before her eldest daughter. Ethan met his second wife, Frances Montresor Brush Buchanan, in 1784, fell in love and married her within a few months. They had three children: Fanny (1784-1819), Hannibal (1786-1813), and Ethan (1787-1855).

Allen died in 1789, of a stroke, at the age of 51.

Two ships of the United States Navy have been named Ethan Allen in his honor, as well as Fort Ethan Allen, a cavalry outpost, in Colchester and Essex, Vermont. The Spirit of Ethan Allen is the name of a tour boat line in Lake Champlain.

A book on Magic. Such a book at barns and noble can range from expensive to cheap depending on you budget and his possible interest. Your gift might offer him a place to channel his joker & class clown energy into a positive thing and might even give him a hobby. Such a gift would be beyond price that you intentions are that of a true friend. That would be worth a lot more than the actual gift itself truly rather or not it works it sure shows your thought for him.
