Ethan Allen and His Green Mountain Boys

First a little history.The Catamount Tavern This is where Ethan Allen and His Green Mountain Boys did their drinkin and plottin against King George III!
The capture of Fort Ticonderoga by The Green Mountain Boys and the capture of it's big guns with their subsequent emplacement in the heights above Boston essentially forced the Brits out of New England in the first year of the war. Pretty good for a bunch of colonial barfliies eh!http://www.patriotresource.com/amerrev/events/ticonderoga.html
More later as I learn how to do this!
