About this ebook
Colonel Seth Warner played a conspicuous part in the War of Independence, third in command of the expedition to capture Fort Ticonderoga, at the Siege of Quebec, the battles of Hubbardton and Bennington and the Saratoga campaign. However, his merits and exploits were overshadowed by his colleague, sometime commander and political rival Ethan Allan. In the late 1770s and early 1780s, Ethan Allen, who had spent three years as a prisoner of war, his brother Ira, and Governor Thomas Chittenden dominated Vermont politics, and Warner's influence waned.
In this volume distinguished Vermont historian Daniel Chipman records the real and true story of this American hero.
“SEVERAL years since, I observed that great injustice had been done to the character of Seth Warner, by certain unintentional errors in existing history. I observed also that historians had omitted to state his services so fully as to enable the reader duly to appreciate his merits, and feeling a strong desire to correct those errors, supply those omissions, and transmit his character to posterity in its true light, I undertook to collect materials for a memoir of Seth Warner, but I was so unsuccessful, that I was compelled to abandon the object. Although I knew Warner, personally, only as a boy knows a man, yet, from those who were both his and my contemporaries, I had a full knowledge of the man, but I could not think it either useful or proper to portray his character, on my own authority, unsupported by evidence.”
