Profiles the life of the proud patriot and soldier who, along with Benedict Arnold, led the Green Mountain Boys in capturing Fort Ticonderoga from the British.
Gr 4-8-Considering the interesting, unusual lives these three larger-than-life heroes led, these biographies are surprisingly bland and uninspiring. Haugen recites events while failing to create a sense of who Hamilton, Allen, and Jones really were, and also fails to adequately summarize their contributions and significance. Her scholarship is suspect, given the number of errors and omissions as well as the large number of notes that are incorrectly cited and/or quoted. The maps are incomplete, and too many illustrations are old-fashioned and irrelevant. For Hamilton, use John Rosenburg's thorough, fascinating Alexander Hamilton (21st Century Bks, 2000); Veda Boyd Jones's Alexander Hamilton (Chelsea House, 1999) is adequate. Elaine Marie and Arthur B. Alphin's I Have Not Yet Begun to Fight (Carolrhoda, 2004) is the clearest and best written for this age level on Jones, but unfortunately ends after the Revolutionary War and uses modern drawings rather than contemporary illustrations. Alison Davis Tibbitts's John Paul Jones (Enslow, 2002) is passable but dull. Acceptable, error-free titles on Ethan Allen are hard to come by.-Ann W.
