A Green Mountain Boy of 1775 in his fringed hunting shirt, long rifle grounded on the rocks, printed on crystal glass. The Green Mountain Boys were the farmers and hunters of the New Hampshire Grants, the citizen militia of their day, who crossed Lake Champlain before dawn on May 10, 1775, and took Fort Ticonderoga from its sleeping garrison, three weeks after Lexington. Who captured Fort Ticonderoga is still the first question a Vermonter asks a visitor; the answer stands on this ornament. The figure sits on a white-backed face for crisp contrast, while the clear gem-cut beveled edge catches the tree lights and throws a subtle halo around the image. A slim red ribbon threads the top for hanging from a branch, mantel hook, or stand.
The same men fought at the Battle of Bennington in August 1777, the day Vermont still keeps as Bennington Battle Day, and their Grants became the Vermont Republic, an independent state for fourteen years before it joined the Union. A true 3-inch round in solid crystal glass, the ornament arrives in your choice of white or gold gift box, ready to give as-is, tuck into a stocking, or keep for the collection. As with the rest of Merlin Classics, profits support hunger relief.
A decorative piece for adult collectors, not a toy; real glass, so hang it high if little hands roam the tree. Handle with care and wipe gently with a clean, dry microfiber cloth. With America's 250th anniversary underway, this is the ornament for Vermonters, Ticonderoga and Lake Champlain visitors, frontiersman admirers, and anyone shopping for gifts for history buffs with a Green Mountain Boy in the family tree.
The Heritage Ornament Collection: the kneeling Minuteman of Lexington and the Green Mountain Boy of Ticonderoga, both 1775, both gift-ready.
