		Catamount returned to San Diego on 13 August, operated on the west coast and on 22 November sailed for another tour with the 7th Fleet in the Far East.

		Of several furnished by the artist, his obverse of Ira Allen and his reverse depicting a striding catamount (mountain lion) were approved by the Commission of Fine Arts on April 29, 1926.
		Curiously, the catamount was a figurative substitute for a previously-rejected model by Keck displaying historic Fay’s Tavern, known also as “The Catamount Tavern.” Although an attractive element, the cat really has no connection to the coin’s theme.
		The reverse is dominated by a profile view of a catamount poised atop a mountain crag.

		The Green Mountains of Vermont, North of Brattleboro, was the area in 1775 where Ethan Allen and a group of patriots met at the Catamount Tavern to plot the taking of Fort Ticonderoga.
		This famous battle, in which the fort was captured without firing a shot, was the first great victory of the Revolutionary War.
		Those more interested in just Brattleboro should consider a visit that includes Alpine or Nordic skiing in the winter, or canoeing in the summer; just think how good a brew is after a satisfying day outdoors.

		Seth Warner was a young giant of great bodily strength, "six feet two inches, straight as a hickory tree and strongly built." In contrast to his cousin Ethan he was quiet, never given to self-acclaim or display, and happy to let credit for his actions fall where it might.
		Using the Catamount Tavern in Bennington as their headquarters, Ethan Allen, Colonel Commandant of the Green Mountain Boys (perhaps a self-imposed title) and his captains met military council and planned their strategy over a bowl of flip.
		Here also they boisterously celebrated their victories over the hated "Yorkers." With physical might and questionable but possible legal right against them and with no support from the other colonies, the outlook for the Wentworth enterprises was sad indeed.
