"Of the Capture of Ticonderoga: His Captivity and Treatment by the British" by Ethan Allen is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This narrative recounts Allen's experiences during the American Revolutionary War, particularly focusing on his role in capturing Fort Ticonderoga and the subsequent hardships he endured as a prisoner. It aims to present a vivid portrayal of his character, intentions, and the treatment he faced from the British during his captivity. The opening of the work introduces Ethan Allen as a passionate advocate for liberty who took part in the surprising and successful capture of Ticonderoga in May 1775. It describes his leadership of the Green Mountain Boys and the excitement of their valorous actions. The text further dives into the unfortunate experiences of Allen and his men after they fell into British hands, detailing both the physical and psychological tribulations he faced during his imprisonment. Throughout the narrative, Allen emphasizes his commitment to the American cause and the contrasts in treatment between American and British forces, setting an engaging tone for what promises to be a compelling recounting of his revolutionary experiences.
