Massachusetts envisioned a strip the height of the state from sea to sea or whatever lay in the west. Vermont also had overlapping land grants by New Hampshire and New York. Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys had their own little war with NY. Sometimes they participated in the revolution, sometimes not. They did take part in the Battle of Bennington. The rather phallic Bennington Battle Monument is in Bennington VT. The Bennington Battlfield itself is in NY. At the time the drinking age was 18 in NY, 21 in VT. More than one Vermont teenager who had picked up a load at a NY roadhouse didn't make it home over the winding mountain roads. Most everywhere has a 'most dangerous road' For us it was NY Rt. 7. which turns into VT 9 at the border.
