Ethan Allen Part 2 of 4 ~ The Alexander Articles

As the colonies erupt in protest and violence in its slow descent into outright revolution, Ethan Allen begins his new life in the New Hampshire Grants, what would eventually come to be the state he helps found: Vermont. However, his family’s secure new life, as well as the security and property of every settler of the Grants, is threatened by the political machinations of New York colony’s wealthy landlord class. Allen becomes the recognized leader and representative of the Grant’s settlers, and exhausts every legal option available to protect his neighbors and himself. Those options ultimately fail, and Allen is forced to lead his young community down a new and more violent path.
