The opening portrays Allen’s early life, including his family background and the controversies surrounding his legacy, including conflicting opinions about his character and actions. This section sets the stage for a deeper exploration of Ethan Allen’s complex life as both a local and national hero, as well as a figure often misrepresented in historical accounts.
