Ethan Allen's Green Mountain Boys made Vermont possible. Formed by Connecticut natives Allen (Litchfield) and Seth Warner (Roxbury), the group fought to retain land grant rights in the 1700s in the wilderness between New Hampshire and New York. Their efforts paved the way for Vermont to become a separate state. The story is told by historian and author Gene Procknow.

Glenn Fay of Burlington is an author, historian and seventh-generation Vermonter. He's also a descendant of one of the Green Mountain Boys. Glenn wrote Hidden History of Burlington Vermont and has a new book out, Ambition of the Remarkable Family of Ethan Allen. On a sunny day in July, we met at the Ethan Allen Homestead Museum in Burlington, where Glenn serves as a board member. In this episode, Glenn shares how Ethan Allen is famous for capturing Fort Ticonderoga from the British and was also a complicated figure. We also talk about Burlington's history, old neighborhoods, and the city's waterfront, which was once a bustling lumber port.  https://ethanallenhomestead.org https://happyvermont.com  

Ethan Allen is lionized as the founding father of Vermont. But filmmaker Jay Craven has reimagined the story of the Revolutionary War figure and leader of the Green Mountain Boys to tell a fuller story of patriotism laced with greed and ambition. In Craven's latest epic film, “Lost Nation,” Ethan Allen meets Lucy Terry Prince, a formerly enslaved woman in Guilford who scholars believe was the nation's first African American poet. The improbable duo have a shared conviction to protect their land and people. Their fictionalized connection lies at the heart of Craven's saga.“Lost Nation” opens with a quote from Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Alice Walker, who wrote, “All history is current.”“One of the questions we pose in the film is whether the promise of the American Revolution would be fulfilled,” said Craven. “There was a belief and a hope that slavery would be abolished as a result of the American Revolution. Of course, that did not happen. And some of the racial tensions of that time, unfortunately, have persisted … And today we're facing the problem of even banning African American history.”“Maybe this film itself would be banned, frankly, because it tells some African American history about struggle,” he mused.Jay Craven is one of Vermont's cultural visionaries. He is a founder of Catamount Arts, co-founder of Circus Smirkus, and co-founder of Kingdom County Productions, which he runs with his wife, documentary filmmaker Bess O'Brien. Craven has directed 10 films, including “Where the Rivers Flow North” (1993), “Disappearances” (2006) and “Northern Borders” (2013). Craven is also artistic director of the Middlebury New Filmmakers Festival and a former professor of film studies at Marlboro College. Craven attended Boston University, where he was student body president and led protests against the Vietnam War. He formed a lifelong friendship with radical historian Howard Zinn and traveled with a student peace delegation to North Vietnam.Filmmaking is an extension of Craven's lifelong social justice mission. Some 45 students from 10 colleges were involved in making “Lost Nation,” part of his commitment to empowering a new generation of filmmakers through Semester Cinema.Making films “gave me voice, it gave me agency and also instilled in me a certain activism that became a guiding force when I moved to Vermont in wanting to work within the arts to connect communities and to work with this idea of community and culture,” Craven said. “Making movies based on stories from where I lived, as an alternative to the Hollywood narrative, was part of that activism.”

An early version of local musicians, The Stockwells, began in the 1970's as The Green Mountain Boys. Here's how they started, and found themselves playing with many accomplished performers at Windham College. Putney Folk, the promoters of several performances, is also discussed in this recording...

The Green Mountain Boys are rolling in their graves. Howie and his listeners lament over the fallenness of Vermont as it is gradually handed over to the hippies. Visit the Howie Carr Radio Network website to access columns, podcasts, and other exclusive content.

The Green Mountain Boys began in 1770 at present-day Bennington, Vermont, as an unauthorized militia organized to defend the property rights of local residents who had received land grants from New Hampshire. New York, which then claimed present-day Vermont, disputed New Hampshire's right to grant land west of the Green Mountains. The Green Mountain Boys stopped sheriffs from enforcing New York laws and terrorized settlers who had New York grants, burning buildings, stealing cattle, and administering occasional floggings with birch rods. The Green Mountain Boys immediately joined the Revolution, and on May 10, 1775, fewer than a hundred of them, under the joint command of Ethan Allen and Benedict Arnold, captured Fort Ticonderoga. Eventually they became part of the Continental Army and served in the abortive offensive against Canada. (Click Here for Full Article)   From apnews.com/article: Vermont on Monday made it a crime to own or operate paramilitary training camps in the state after Republican Gov. Phil Scott signed legislation introduced in response to a firearms training facility built without permits that neighbors called a menace. Violators face up to five years in prison or a fine up to $50,000 or both, according to the law. It prohibits a person from teaching, training, or demonstrating to anyone else the use, application, or making of a firearm, explosive, or incendiary device capable of causing injury or death that will be used in or in furtherance of a civil disorder. It also bans a person from assembling with others for such training, instruction or practice. (Click Here for Full Article)

Benedict Arnold develops a plan to capture Fort Ticonderoga in New York in order to get cannon for Boston. Before leaving for Massachusetts, he tells several men in his home colony of Connecticut about his plan. These Connecticut men organize a force with Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys, who live only a few miles from the fort.   Arnold, unaware of this plan, gets approval from the Massachusetts army to raise a force in Western Massachusetts to attack the fort. Upon learning that Allen is assembling an attack, Arnold, by himself, rushes to meet Allen's forces and demands to lead them. They refuse, but allow him to come along.   The British do not have the fort guarded well, and do not have a large garrison. The Green Mountain Boys easily enter the fort at dawn and capture the garrison without any deaths. Allen and Arnold then fight over command and who deserves credit for the victory.

After New Hampshire issues thousands of land grants in a disputed region, New York gets the King to declare the land part of the New York colony.  New York then declares all the property owners living on land grants from New Hampshire to be illegal squatters who need to buy their land again or leave.  After legal and political efforts lead nowhere, the land owners with New Hampshire grants form a militia that becomes the Green Mountain Boys.  Ethan Allen becomes the best known leader of the group, using violence and intimidation to force out New York claimants. Several New York Governors attempt to resolve the problem, but let their own greed in land speculation prevent any fair resolution.  New York attempts to crush the resistance, but events leading to the outbreak of war between England and the colonies prevents any final showdown.  The fight moves into the war itself.

We genuinely thought we had agreed terms on a new lease but things didn't go our way which was no ones(sic) fault it just didn't work out.” Rochester Fair ends 143 year streak "I think it's a sign of the times. Young folks now, they're home doing their DVDs, and games and all that stuff on their phones." Dairy Bailout Governor Sununu signed SB10 into law on April 25th effective immediately. This is a $2 million bailout of the dairy industry. Not only is this milking the taxpayer, which is unethical, but it gives the milk industry an unfair advantage compared to other industries that were affected by the drought last year. This will promote risky behavior because milk farmers will think that the state will bail them out again. Portsmouth budget is increasing… again! Portsmouth City Council at it again, proposing a 2.13% increase in the budget for 2018 and a property tax increase of 3.99% As we're speaking May 10th at 18:30 the City council is having their meeting about the budget Another state rep switches to Libertarian party Joseph Stallcop former democrat from Cheshire 4 (Keene) switched to the libertarian party on 05/10/2017 “Personally witnessing the situation at Standing Rock showed me the danger of relinquishing power and authority into an institution, while my time in Concord reinforced the ineptitude that can exist by those in charge. I originally joined the Democratic Party in hopes of making a difference through critical thinking and my classical liberal viewpoint, yet with the lack of unbiased data in caucuses as well as backlash on votes I've independently made, it seems there is no longer a place for me here. With a high regard for individuals personally working in their communities to implement positive change, I hereby transfer to the Libertarian Party” City of Rochester doesn't like when people help poor people John Weeden, owner of Amazon park in Rochester owns the park and out of the kindness of his heart he hosts a free meal for residents because most of them are at the lowest rung of the economic ladder The City of Rochester has order him to stop. Why? He doesn't have a license. Rochester has an ordinance saying free or not you need to have a license to serve food and have a health inspector inspect at least annually. Now Weeden is applying to get a license and can't reopen the kitchen until at least June because the next course doesn't start until then. Good News: Rochester resident volunteers to repaint downtown David Walton, owner of Crown Point Industrial will be painting the façade of at least 2 and he hopes at least 10 to 12 buildings by the end of the summer. Businesses have offered their equipment so that Walton can accomplish his goal. Emails: Christian emailed us in regard to the COAST bus story from last episode: “The COAST funding issue is even worse than you think. The plan by the Rockingham Planning Commission is to have them be the single source for all federal funds in our region, then they distribute them to other organizations. COAST's goal is to get as much money and grow as large as possible, just like government. I actually work for the Rockingham Planning Commission so I see all this stuff internally.” Local happenings Freecoast Festival Be there or be a statist.   Special Guest: Kathleen Wikstrom Private Cities - kjwikstrom@gmail.com   Kathleen emailed in about our death penalty segment 2 episodes ago: Few comments about your recent segment about the death penalty: The idea that one could voluntarily submit to Sharia Law makes no sense if you oppose the idea that one can alienate his will. That's the reason that contracts are written with penalties for non-compliance. The penalty is instead of requiring the person to fulfill the contract, because it would require alienation of will. A person can always change their mind, but they have to pay the pre-agreed penalty.Another idea I wish had been brought up is the idea of making someone an "outlaw" as an alternative to capital punishment for the most terrible crimes. While "outlaw" has come to mean a serious criminal, I read many years ago about its use in Ireland, and I thought it was a pretty good concept. It's explained pretty well at the very beginning of the Wikipedia page titled "outlaw":"In historical legal systems, an outlaw is declared as outside the protection of the law. In pre-modern societies, the criminal is withdrawn all legal protection, so that anyone is legally empowered to persecute or kill them. Outlawry was thus one of the harshest penalties in the legal system. In early Germanic law, the death penalty is conspicuously absent, and outlawing is the most extreme punishment, presumably amounting to a death sentence in practice. The concept is known from Roman law, as the status of homo sacer, and persisted throughout the Middle Ages."Basically, it is saying that this person has shown such disrespect for law (and generally, in such a way that restitution cannot be sufficient) that they no longer deserve its protection. If someone rapes your daughter and is declared an outlaw, you can kill him without any legal ramifications. That doesn't protect you from social ramifications, but the more "deserving" the criminal was of what he got (and especially the more he/she is perceived as an ongoing threat), the lower the social ramifications would be. At least in these situations, the person who seeks justice on his own is taking personal responsibility for it. I think it's an interesting concept.   Philosophy of Liberty Outlawry   Seacoast History General John Stark “Live free or die, death is not the greatest of evils” 1728: Born in Londonderry(now Derry), NH to Scots-Irish immigrants who left Scotland because of the Test Act(I can go into this below) and then left Derry in Northern Ireland. The Test Act enforced upon all persons filling any office, civil or military, the obligation of taking the oaths of supremacy and allegiance and subscribing to a declaration against transubstantiation and also of receiving the sacrament within three months after admittance to office. (basically prohibiting catholics and nonconformist religions) When Stark was 25 he joined the Rogers' Rangers during the 7 Years war(aka French and Indian war). Roger's Rangers was an independent ranger company of light infantry. Not part of the regular army. Tasked with mainly reconnaissance, as well as conducting special operations against distant targets. After that war he retired as captain(1763) War for American Independence Immediately went back into the military after first shots He led 800 men, which he organized quickly before NH state legislature could which was the largest group in Massachusetts or NH He was given the rank of colonel of the 1st NH regiment Fought at Bunker Hill. his son who was 15 fought at the battle as well. Washington asks Stark and his men to join the continental army, they agreed. Stark was with Washington at the battles of Princeton and Trenton in late 1776 and early 1777 respectively. Washington asked Stark to go back to NH to recruit more men. Finds out that fellow NH Colonel, Enoch Poor, was promoted to Brigadier General even though Poor refused to march his militia at Bunker Hill and kept them at home. Resigned in March 1777 in disgust but pledged his future aid to NH if it should be needed. Four months later, NH offered Stark a position as Brigadier General for the NH militia. He accepted on the strict condition that he wouldn't be answerable to the Continental Army. Assembled 1,492 men in civilian clothes with their personal firearms. Stationed in southern Vermont 1777 General Benjamin Lincoln of the Continental army, who Stark also didn't think deserved his position. Told Stark to reinforce Schuyler's army on the Hudson, Stark said no and stayed in southern Vermont. British Lieutenant Colonel Friedrich Baum in charge of 700 men mostly Germans, attempted to capture Bennington VT. Stark's 1,800 men surrounded Baum's army allegedly saying "We'll beat them before night or Molly Stark's a widow." Baum was killed and his men gave up. Reinforcements arrived for the British but Seth Warner's Green Mountain Boys came and forced them to withdraw Historian Mark M Boatner wrote, “As a commander of New England militia Stark had one rare and priceless quality: he knew the limitations of his men. They were innocent of military training, undisciplined, and unenthusiastic about getting shot. With these men he killed over 200 of Europe's vaunted regulars with a loss of 14 Americans killed.” The Battle of Bennington and the subsequent Battle of Saratoga changed the direction of the war, Britain couldn't isolate New England and was the catalyst for American victory. Stark was promoted to Brigadier General in October 1777 After the war, Stark retired to his farm in what is now Manchester. He is probably the only true Cincinnatus of the Revolutionary War Generals as he is the only one who truly retired from public life. In 1809 Stark then 81 was invited by a group of other veterans to Bennington but had to decline due to ill health.
