The "Battle" for Fort Ticonderoga | Ethan Allen & the Green Mountain Boys (Lyric Video) #america250

The "Battle" for Fort Ticonderoga | Ethan Allen & the Green Mountain Boys (1775) When news of Lexington reached the Green Mountains, Ethan Allen and his Green Mountain Boys answered the call. In the darkness before dawn on May 10, 1775, they crossed Lake Champlain in small boats and launched one of the boldest raids of the American Revolution. Alongside Benedict Arnold, Allen led a surprise attack that captured Fort Ticonderoga from the British—without a major battle. The fort's greatest prize wasn't the victory itself—it was the artillery. Months later, Colonel Henry Knox hauled those captured cannons hundreds of miles through the winter to Boston, where they helped force the British evacuation of the city. This original folk anthem tells the story from Ethan Allen's perspective with stomping boots, driving banjos, and the rallying cry of the Green Mountain Boys. "In the name of the Great Jehovah and the Continental Congress!"
