Abstract
Arthur Nelson's Civil War story that contains references to "rebels" and "Union" fighters, a chapter titled "The Battle of Bull Run," as well as two chapters on the capture and hanging of John Brown. The story centers around two rugged men from the White Mountains, Ethan (misspelled by Arthur as Eathen) Allen and William Little, described as stout men whose height of six feet four inches is often remarked upon throughout the story. The two men meet after Little saves Allen's son from a wolf. They meet again some time later and join in battle against the rebels in the Battle of Bull Run. Of note in the second half of the booklet is Ethan Allen's pursuit and capture of John Brown as well as Brown's subsequent hanging.
