Who captured Ticonderoga with a band of men known as the Green Mountain Boys?

Ethan Allen (yes, just like the furniture stores).\n\nFrom the Virtual Vermont website:\n"At the outbreak of the Revolutionary War (1775-1783) he led the expedition that captured Fort Ticonderoga in the first colonial victory of the war (notwithstanding the fact that he and the Boys basically knocked on the door, walked in and took over). He would soon thereafter attempt a badly planned, badly executed assault on Montreal which would result in his being imprisoned by the British and thus removed from further participation in the Revolution.\n"

Benedict Arnold (January 14, 1741 – June 14, 1801) was a general in the Continental Army during the American Revolution. He is best known for an act of treason against the United States — plotting to surrender the American fort at West Point, New York to the British. Arnold had distinguished himself as a hero of the revolution early in the war through acts of cunning and bravery at Fort Ticonderoga in 1775 and at the Battle of Saratoga in 1777. Arnold strongly opposed the decision by the Continental Congress to form an alliance with France, having experienced a bitter defeat at the hands of the French and their Indian allies during the French and Indian War (1754–1763).\n\nDisaffected due to grievances with the Continental Congress and the military, suffering from mounting personal debt, and facing corruption charges filed by the Pennsylvania civil authorities, Arnold also faced pressure at home from his young second wife, a British Loyalist. In 1780, he formulated his infamous scheme. If successful, this would have given British forces control of the Hudson River valley and split the colonies in half. The plot was thwarted, but Arnold managed to flee to England, where he was rewarded with a commission as a Brigadier General in the British Army along with a reduced award of £6,000 sterling.

Stark was married to Elizabeth "Molly" Page, with whom he had 11 children.\n\nOn April 28, 1752 while on a hunting and trapping trip along the Baker River a tributary of the Pemigewasset River where he was captured by Abenaki warriors and brought back to Quebec but not before warning his brother William Stark to paddle away in his canoe though David Stinson was killed. While a prisoner of the Abinaki he and his fellow prisoner Amos Eastman were made to run a gauntlet of warriors armed with sticks. Stark grabbed the stick from the first warrior's hands and proceeded to attack him, taking the rest of the warriors by surprise. The chief was so impressed by this heroic act that Stark was adopted into the tribe where he spent the winter. Then next spring a government agent sent from Massachusetts to work on the exchange of prisoners paid his ransom of $103 Spanish dollars and $60 for Amos Eastman. Stark and Eastman then returned to New Hampshire.\n\nStark enlisted as a second lieutenant under Major Robert Rogers during the French and Indian War. As part of the daring Rogers' Rangers, Stark gained valuable battle experience and knowledge of the Northern frontier of the American colonies. At the end of the war, Stark retired as a captain and returned to Derryfield.

Joaquin Murrieta (sometimes spelled Murieta or Murietta) (1829–ca. 1853), also called the Mexican Robin Hood or the Robin Hood of El Dorado, was a legendary figure in California during the California Gold Rush in the 1850s. He was either an infamous bandit or a Mexican patriot, depending on one's point of view. Whatever the truth of the matter, his name has, for some political activists at least, symbolized resistance against Anglo-American economic and cultural domination in California.\n\nThe site of his birth is disputed: either Alamos, in the northwestern state of Sonora, Mexico, or in Quillota, Chile (near Valparaiso). It is said he first went to California in 1850 to seek his fortune in the California Gold Rush. Instead of opportunity, he instead encountered racism and discrimination. Unable to make a living legally, Murrieta became one of the leaders of the band called The Five Joaquins, which included Joaquin Botellier, Joaquin Carrillo, Joaquin Ocomorenia, and Joaquin Valenzuela. Between 1850 and 1853 these men, along with Murietta's right hand man "Three-Fingered Jack" (Manuel Garcia), were said to be responsible for the majority of cattle rustling, robberies, and murders that were committed in the Mother Lode area of the Sierra Nevadas. They are credited with stealing more than $100,000 in gold, over 100 horses, killing 19 people (mostly Chinese mine workers), and having outrun three posses, killing three lawmen. At the time no one was certain of the name of the leader, so he was simply called Joaquin, and it was further uncertain if it was one band or more than one. The band was supposedly supported by Californios, who protected them, Robert Livermore among them.\n\nOn May 11, 1853, John Bigler, who was Governor of California at the time signed a legislative act creating the "California Rangers", lead by Captain Harry Love (a former Texas Ranger), whose purpose was to arrest the Five Joaquins. The California Rangers were paid $150 a month and stood a chance to split a $5000 reward for the capture of Murrieta. On July 25, 1853 a group of these rangers encountered a group of Mexican males near Panoche Pass in San Benito County, about 100 miles away from the Mother Lode and 50 away from Monterey. A confrontation occurred and two of the Mexicans were killed—one thought to be Murrieta and the other thought to be Garcia.\n\n \nA poster advertising the display of the supposed head of Murrieta ca. 1853The Rangers took Garcia's hand and Murrieta's head as evidence of their death and displayed them in a jar, preserved in brandy. The jar was displayed in Mariposa County, Stockton and San Francisco and traveled throughout California, where spectators could, for $1, see the remains. Seventeen people, including a priest, signed affidavits identifying the remains as Murrieta's and Love and his Rangers received the reward money. However, a young woman claiming to be his sister did not recognize the head and said that it was not his since it did not have a characteristic scar on it. Additionally, numerous sightings were reported after his reported death. Many people criticized Love for showing the remains in large cities far from the mining camps where Joaquin might be recognized. It has even been claimed that Love and his Rangers made up the story of the capture of Murrieta to claim the reward money. The head was lost in the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake.\n\nSoon after his reported death, Murrieta became the subject of story and legend. In 1854 the first fictionalized account of his life appeared in a San Francisco newspaper and in a book by Cherokee author John Rollin Ridge. It tells a story of how his wife was raped and killed, his brother hanged for a crime he did not commit and how Murrieta swore to avenge them by killing all the Yanquis or gringos he could find. Although no evidence to confirm that this actually happened to a man named Joaquin Murrieta, very similar things happened

Wearing of the green originated when Irish Americans fought to obtain political status in the United States. Up until the mid-nineteenth century, most Irish immigrants in America were members of the Protestant middle class. When the Great Potato Famine hit Ireland in 1845, close to a million poor, uneducated, Catholic Irish began to pour into America to escape starvation. Despised for their religious beliefs and funny accents by the American Protestant majority, the immigrants had trouble finding even menial jobs. When Irish Americans in the country 's cities took to the streets on St. Patrick's Day to celebrate their heritage, newspapers portrayed them in cartoons as drunk, violent monkeys.\n\nHowever, the Irish soon began to realize that their great numbers endowed them with a political power that had yet to be exploited. They started to organize, and their voting block, known as the "green machine," became an important swing vote for political hopefuls. Suddenly, annual St. Patrick's Day parades became a show of strength for Irish Americans, as well as a must-attend event for a slew of political candidates. In 1948, President Truman attended New York City 's St. Patrick's Day parade, a proud moment for the many Irish whose ancestors had to fight stereotypes and racial prejudice to find acceptance in America.

It was Custer, I believe. As a side note no one cares about, my great uncle fought alongside Custer in that battle.
