About the story |
It's 1775 and the British have blockaded Boston. General Washington is frustrated by the lack of fire power to do anything about it. Colonel Henry Knox, however, knows that there are 183 cannons at Fort Ticonderoga in New York. Will Knox, his brother and a small group of men be able to move those cannon 300 miles across snow covered mountain wilderness, to free the city of Boston? |
My opinion |
A well told adventurous journey that had an important impact on the Patriots fight against the British. A must read for anyone interested in the American Revolution. |
