Ethan Allen Part 1 of 4 ~ The Alexander Articles

Back after a month from almost dying from Covid, we sit down to begin our discussion on the life of Ethan Allen, the controversial hero of the American Revolution and the Founding Father of the state of Vermont. From the foundations of the Puritan faith through the spiritual and political upheaval of the Great Awakening, we explore a snapshot of life in colonial New England through Allen’s eyes. We delve into his upbringing as a frontiersman in Connecticut, his intellectualism, and the legal troubles provoked by his youthful and untempered radicalism. During all this Derek struggles to regain his alcohol tolerance.
