“Were so lucky as to get the Cannon out of the River”
In the winter of 1775–76, Henry Knox led a critical mission from Fort Ticonderoga to Cambridge. He transported 120,000 pounds of captured cannons and mortars using sleds, sleighs, oxen, and boats through icy lakes and deep snow. Despite difficult conditions, Knox selected 58 pieces of artillery for the Continental Army. He placed them on Dorchester Heights, forcing the British to evacuate Boston and achieving an early decisive victory in the Revolution. Join historian Alexander Cain as he explores Knox’s journey and its impact on the Continental Army's firepower.
