AS SEEN ON TV: ETHAN ALLEN

We're winding down our salute to the historical figures as seen in the cartoon series 'Liberty's Kids' this weekend. And today we feature Ethan Allen: Nowadays, he's probably better known for his name's association with a furniture company, but he fought for the independence of Vermont as the leader of the Green Mountain Boys. He was captured while trying to take over Montreal in 1777 and was shipped to England to stand trial as a traitor to King George III. However, he was released in exchange for a British officer.

BCnU!
