Publisher's Note The reader is immersed in the social history of this wild area, settled under a cloud of outrageous land fraud and replete with diverse religious groups, squabbling factions, and a restless population from Connecticut and a variety of other places... 'Revolutionary Outlaws' is a rich, exquisite, and provocative book, highlighting successful radical efforts within the broader - and more restrained - outlines of American independence. -- Journal of the Early Republic
Industry Reviews In a revisionary look at the 18th-century frontier, Bellesiles shows that more than a legendary Revolutionary War hero, Ethan Allen was the leader of a group of frontier subsistence farmers united in their opposition to New York elites and land speculators; the independence Allen and his followers fought for was as much from eastern elites as it was from the British crown.
