OOK
OF THE
Week
By CHUCK SULLIVAN
Ethan Allen, by Stewart Hol
brook, N. Y,, the Macmillan
Co., 1940.
In this brief resurrection of an
early American, author Holbrook
shakes the dust off a figure whose
personal force, vitality, and im
portance in American history
seem to have been inadequately
treated by historians.
Ethan Allen was a huge, hard
drinking, courageous frontiers
man, always itching for a good
fight and usually getting it, fight
ing first against the British to
win American independence, and
then against the new nation to
establish the independence of Ver
mont.
capturing liconderoga was
only a picnic for this man who
was later captured by the Brit
ish and sentenced to be hanged.
He secured a change of verdict by
means of a clever bit of writing
and was sent back to America to
be held prisoner at New York un
til exchanged. Given a brevet colo
nel’s commission, he returned to
his beloved Green Hills to lead
the fight for Vermont statehood
against New York, New Hamp
shire, Masachusetts, and the new
Congress of the United States.
Always a rebel against every
thing which was contrary to his
personal ideas, Allen wrote doz
ens of letters and pamphlets and
one book, popularly known as the
"Oracle” (published about 1735)
in which he espoused a religion
of nature and common sense and
condemned the religious hoodoo
ism of Calvinism.
The adventures of Paul Bun
yan hardly exceed the legends
which are told of this hardy son
of the Green Hills. He could bite
nails in two, and it is said he
drank so heavily that a rattle
snake which happened to bite him
one time while he slept staggered
off dead drunk.
Such tales are indicative of the
style of the book, which is writ
ten with unexpected levity. How
ever Holbrook seems in posses
sion of sufficient knowledge to
make the work fairly instructive
as well as enjoyable reading. His
other works include "Iron Brew”
and “Holy Old Mackinaw.”
Theres a Limit —
Even to Borrowing
Harry Lipsit left a brand new
raincoat on a chair in Oregon
hall Tuesday afternoon.
When he came back 15 minutes
later the coat had been taken. He
makes no special plea but a
friend has requested that the per
son who “borrowed" the coat re
turn it to Harry or to the lost
and found office at the Univer
sity depot.
Harry Lipsit is blind.
