Smith is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book focuses on the Green Mountain Boys, a group of courageous settlers in Vermont, and their struggles against land speculators from New York during the years leading up to and during the American Revolution. The narrative emphasizes the themes of independence, moral heroism, and the spirit of resistance against corruption. At the start of this historical narrative, the author introduces the Green Mountain Boys as a group formed in response to the land disputes between New York and New Hampshire over the territory now known as Vermont. The settlers, characterized by their bravery and a strong desire for autonomy, were determined to defend their rights to the land against the encroachments of New York officials and land speculators. As tensions escalate, the formation of committees of safety and the rise of key figures like Ethan Allen are highlighted, signaling a burgeoning revolutionary spirit among the Vermont settlers. Overall, the opening sets the stage for a detailed examination of the socio-political struggles that shaped Vermont's identity during a crucial period in American history.
