LIFE AND DEEDS OF ETHAN ALLEN
AND THE GREEN MOUNTAIN BOYS
BY CHARLES WALTER BROWN, A. M.
Author of "John Paul Jones," "Nathan Hale," "Lafayette," "Pulaski,"
"Washington," "Abraham Lincoln," "Sherman."
16 ILLUSTRATIONS.
The hero of Ticonderoga and leader of the Green Mountain Boys is best
known for his characteristic demand upon the British garrison at Fort
Ticonderoga, on Lake Champlain, to surrender "in the name of the
Continental Congress and the Great Jehovah." This book not only gives a
full account of the exploits of Colonel Allen, but contains also a brief
history of Vermont, formerly called the New Hampshire Grants, in her
contention with New York authorities, who opposed Vermont's admission into
the Union, but which was finally accomplished by Ethan Allen. "It is the
best 'life' of Ethan Allen published." 12mo, cloth, size 5-5/8 x 7-7/8,
nearly 300 pages.

LIFE AND DEEDS OF
JOHN PAUL JONES
OF NAVAL FAME
By Charles Walter Brown, A. M.
12 Illustrations.
American history gleams with the brilliant achievements of her adopted
sons. No historian ever wearies in telling of the glorious deeds and
self-sacrifices of Lafayette, de Kalb, Pulaski, Kosciuszko, de Grasse,
Rochambeau, Steuben, St. Clair, d'Estaing and John Paul Jones, who gave up
home and country to aid the struggling colonists in their fight for
freedom. This is one of the most patriotic books, both from a literary and
artistic standpoint, ever issued. It is printed on a superior quality of
paper with a dozen or more half-tone portraits of the principal actors,
who participated in our struggle for independence, together with a chart
and views of Jones' most daring exploits on the coasts of England and on
the Black Sea, with his portrait in the full uniform of Admiral of the
United States Navy, of which he was the founder. Cover stamped in red,
white and gold on a navy blue silk cloth, showing in beautiful colors the
colonial flags and American shield with its thirteen stars and stripes,
with Jon
