The Northshire Bookstore in Manchester will present an evening with Glenn Fay, Jr. for a reading and discussion of his recently released book, Ambition: The Remarkable Family of Ethan Allen on Friday, May 16th at 6pm.
Ambition, published by Onion River Press, dives into the relationships of Ethan Allen’s aspiring extended family of brothers, sisters, wives, children, grandchildren, and associates. Many of these characters helped create the original republic we now know as Vermont while living in the Manchester area. Ambition also describes the Allens’ imprint on the present-day unique state of Vermont. The book is available everywhere. Signed copies will be available at the event and afterward.
Ambition has been endorsed by Vermont historians Kevin Graffagnino, Former Governor Jim Douglas, Elise Guyette, Michael Bellesiles, Gary Shattuck, Phyllis Drury, and others.
Glenn Fay is a native Vermonter and descendant of Green Mountain Boy Daniel Champion and New Hampshire militiaman Jon Powers II. He has researched and written about characters in the American Revolution with two prior books, Vermont’s Ebenezer Allen: Patriot, Commando, and Emancipator, and Hidden History of Burlington, Vermont, both from The History Press. Glenn serves on the board of directors at the Ethan Allen Homestead Museum in Burlington.
