Green Mountain Boys An association of guerrilla fighters from Vermont, active in the American War of INDEPENDENCE. They were originally organized in 1771 by Ethan ALLEN to defend their settlements against New York claims. Named after Vermont's mountain chain, they came to support the patriot cause, assisting in the capture of TICONDEROGA (1775), the Battle of BENNINGTON, and Burgoyne's surrender at SARATOGA (1777).
