Farmer, businessman, land speculator, philosopher, writer, American Revolutionary War patriot, hero, and politician (1737–1789). Rare ink signature, “Ethan Allen,” on an off-white 3 x 1.75 slip clipped from a larger document, with a pencil notation on the reverse reading, “Litchfield, February 17, 1771.” In fine condition, with a small split along horizontal fold and paper loss to corner. Best known as a founder of the state of Vermont and for the capture of Fort Ticonderoga early on in the Revolutionary War, this is an exceptional example from one of the most recognizable names in American history.
