Page "Ethan Allen" Paragraph 54

In 1779 Allen published the account of his time in captivity, A Narrative of Colonel Ethan Allen's Captivity ...

Containing His Voyages and Travels, With the most remarkable Occurrences respecting him and many other Continental Prisoners of Observations.

Written by Himself and now published for the Information of the Curious in all Nations.

First published as a serial by the Pennsylvania Packet, the book was an instant best-seller ; it is still available today.

While largely accurate, it notably omits Benedict Arnold from the capture of Ticonderoga, and Seth Warner as the leader of the Green Mountain Boys.
