When one hears the name “Ethan Allen”, several images may come to mind. Perhaps the most common, although a little disappointing, is of course the furniture company. Ask a Vermonter, or a scholar of American history, and they might respond with “forts, patriots, green mountain boys” - all allusions to this man’s illustrious past.
