About this book
In snowbound Bennington, a summons to the courthouse interrupts the farmers' winter dinners. A proclamation from New York challenges their New Hampshire land grants, and Ethan Allen answers by tearing up and burning the document. John De Morgan opens this historical adventure for young readers with a local dispute that brings Allen, Seth Warner and their neighbors into open resistance to colonial authority.
The story follows the Green Mountain Boys into the struggle of the American Revolution, with Ticonderoga and Crown Point among its settings. Brisk exchanges and confrontations carry the action: Warner's men rescue Martha Baker from confinement before approaching a guarded fort. Readers interested in how historical fiction turns public events into personal drama will find land ownership, loyalty and courage given immediate stakes through farmers, soldiers and endangered civilians.
