Reseña del editor:
Profiles the man in charge of the artillery during the Revolutionary War, who became a trusted advisor to George Washington and the secretary of war in the newly appointed government.
Nota de la solapa:
When an obscure bookstore owner in Boston named Henry Knox volunteered to help the newly formed rebel army in 1775, he never expected to play a vital role in the fight for independence. But Knox’s ambitious plan to move cannons from Fort Ticonderoga to Boston led to a significant American victory, forcing the British army to leave the city. After that success, Knox was placed in charge of the Continental Army’s artillery, and his guns helped the Americans win victories at Trenton, Monmouth, and numerous other battles during the conflict. Knox was a trusted friend and advisor of George Washington, and he continued to serve his country after the Revolution ended, taking an important government position as the first Secretary of War.
