MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — A 1774 arrest warrant for Vermont Revolutionary War Hero Ethan Allen and other leaders of the Green Mountain Boys is going on the auction block.

Swann Auction Galleries in New York will auction off the partial document — one of its two leaves is missing — on April 14.

"It's certainly a watershed document in the history of Vermont," said Rick Stattler, Americana specialist at Schwann.

The proclamation came at a crucial period right before the Revolution, during a conflict between Vermont and New York over land. It orders royal officers to be "vigilant in suppressing the said riots ... as well as for bringing to justice the perpetrators and authors of the said riots."
