The Fourteenth State: A Biographical Novel of Ethan Allen

From Savages to Yorkers, to the surprise attack on Ft. Ticonderoga, to America's first Navy and its ambush of the mighty British Fleet at the Battle of Lake Champlain at Valcour Island, to the defeat of British outside Bennington and finally the turning point of the Revolutionary War, the decisive battle of Saratoga. Our history books go into great detail about the Thirteen Colonies and how they declared their independence and referred to themselves as the United States of America on July 4, 1776. The battles generated many new hero's that are either obscure, condemned or not mentioned at all in our history books probably because Vermont was not a state in 1776. This book is about Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys and their quest to make Vermont the Fourteenth State.Roach Jr., John is the author of 'The Fourteenth State: A Biographical Novel of Ethan Allen', published 2007 under ISBN 9781425983888 and ISBN 142598388X.
