The Rebel and the Tory: Ethan Allen, Philip Skene, and the Dawn of Vermont

John J. Duffy

4.9/5 (19255 ratings)

Description:The origin story of Vermont has remained essentially the same for more than 200 years, but The Rebel and the Tory shines fresh light on critical elements of the long-accepted narrative. Historians have always considered the Ejectment Trials of 1770 a critical inflection point, when settlers and their leaders of the New Hampshire Grants, turned from petitions and court proceedings to active and violent resistance against legitimate New York authority. But no historians have ever read the transcripts of the Ejectment Trials—until now. The reality of those courtroom proceedings turns out to be quite different from their portrayal for two centuries. In addition, the authors restore Philip Skene to his rightful place at the center of Vermont’s founding, as a principal player scheming with Ethan Allen and others to create a new colony with the capacity to resolve the Grants controversy.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
