for their services and thus from their lips learned
many of the incidents OF the wars one thing which
SO impressed me that still remember il distinctly
relates 10 the event which the monument Ct Ethan
Allen is 10 commemorate. 10 is thi. while the
patriotism Of the men of the revolution was OF the
strongest type, impelling them to sacrifice every
thing for independence, they had az the outset very

without head. with the old, organized and m -ity
mother country, with her navy, and armies and
Weaith 10 sustain her through long contest, they
sad they feared they unequal o. the task they
had undertaken, and knew not how or where To-
begin 20 accomplish any great thing Then i was
that the capture Of Tconderoga and Crown Point
by Allen and Warner came To inspir them with the
one thing ueodful. which was confidence. From
that moment they felt equal 20 any thing, aud
hasteued o. attempt the conquest Of Canada.
Though they failed in that the lessons of war which
they had learned fitted them for the fight 40 Hub

Mountain Boys were eminent and Oh uk It /, just
