Light discoloration to front/rear covers verso. Decisive moment in the American Revolutionary War (American War of Independence) initiated by the 13 colonies in Congress against England for taxation without representation. In 1775 the British laid siege to Boston; the 2nd Continental Congress appoints George Washington (1732 - 1799), later the first US President, to lead the Continental Army in defense of British ships. However, it is winter and Washington is without weapons. This is the story of how Colonel Henry Knox (1750 - 1806), later America's first Secretary of War, over 300 miles away over mountains, transports 183 cannons & ammunition to General Washington from weapons captured at Fort Ticonderoga. These will be sited atop Dorchester Heights targeting the British ships in the harbor --- the British withdraw to Nova Scotia. 98 pgs in 25 chapters. Nº de ref. del artículo: 020113
