A Narrative of Colonel Ethan Allen's Captivity

Facinating! True story of Ethan Allen's treatment as a prisoner of the British. A must read for those Revolutionary War buffs.

This book is perfect for American history buffs. It is written by Ethan Allen, the Revolutionary War hero who captured Fort Ticonderoga. It describes the Ticonderoga episode and then tells of Allen's captivity by the British after his unsuccessful attempt to take Montreal. Allen is a wonderful American historical figure and it is most interesting to read of his experiences first hand. This book is a good companion to Stewart Holbrook's delightful and sympathetic historical biography of Allen, Ethan Allen. Allen is one of the least remembered heroes of that bygone era and definitely deserves more attention than he gets in today's history books. He was intelligent, self-educated, outrageous, gallant, brave, profane, classy and is just plain fun to read about.
