To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was the headquarters for that brave band of Green Mountain Boys whose scouts, skilled in woodcraft, first learned of the plan formulated by Bur- goyne to attack Bennington and deprive the American Army of its stores. One of the rooms in this hostelry was designated as the "council room," and here these brave men laid their plans and drank good New England rum. The old tavern ac- count book bearing the unbalanced "score" charged against Ethan Allen is yet pre- served. Allen was a tower of str...ength to the cause of liberty; a blunt, honest man of the highest integrity. In religion it is said "he was a free thinker, and passed for an infidel," and this it was that prompted the Rev. Dr. Ezra Stiles to write in the margin of his almanack for the year 1789, against the date February 13, "General Ethan Allen of Vermont died and went to Hell this day." The 17 258 THE COLONIAL TAVERN "Catamount" tavern was destroyed in 1871.
iA.nother noted hostelry in Vermont was Coffin's tavern, "situated on the north part of Cavendish, on the old military road, cut out, in the French wars, by the ener- getic General Amherst, with a regiment of New Hampshire Boys, and extending from Number Four, as Charlestown on the Connecticut was then called, to the for- tresses on Lake Champlain." It was pre- sided over by Captain John Coffin, and was the rendezvous for the scouting parties sent out by the Council of Safety in Ver- mont, and whose services were of so much consequence to the success of the Ameri- can army at Bennington.
