Hurra for old Ethan, The hero of Ti Whose heart was most dauntless When danger was nigh, His sword was an army, His presence a host, Who bolder and braver Can chivalry boast The lyre of the poet, 1 The pen of the sage, May quicken the spirit, Enlighten the age. Still the sword of the hero, When drawn for the truth, Is the pride of the aged, The glory of youth. Old Ethan, we love thee, Thou valiant and bold Thy name shall be spoken Where brave deeds are told. While bright skies bend oer ui, And pure waters flow, In the name of old Ethaa Well to victory go.

That their deeds of heroism, privation and sufferings were gratefully 10 Introduction. remembered by those who profited most in that hour of supreme national rejoicing, is best shown in the firm, unyielding spirit in which they flung defiance back upon the enemy in the immortal utterances of July 4, 1776. Perhaps no individual of equal advantages, and in the station he occupied, contributed more toward estab lishing the independence of our country than Ethan Allen, of Vermont, unless it be the single exception of John Paul Jones. The mass of people among whom Allen resided were rude and uncultured, yet bold in spirit and insanely zealous in action.
