GREEN MOUNTAIN BOYS FLAG
 

History of the Green Mountain Boys Flag

On August 16, 1777 the “Green Mountain Boys” fought under General Stark at the Battle of Bennington in Bennington, Vermont. The flag’s green field represented their name, and the thirteen white stars were a tribute to the thirteen colonies.  A notable victory for the Green Mountain Boys, under Ethan Allen, occurred on the morning of May 10, 1775, when they silently invaded the British-held Fort Ticonderoga and demanded its surrender “In the name of the great Jehovah and the Continental Congress.” The captured cannon and mortars were transported across the snow covered mountains of New England and their installation on the heights over Boston Harbor enabled Washington to force the British to leave that important seaport.
