Description
When supplies were running low, Knox led a group of men through treacherous conditions to retrieve weapons and ammunition for the Colonial Army. His brave actions brought about a much-needed victory for the Patriots and saved the city of Boston from destruction. In doing so, Knox played a significant role in saving the American cause. Henry Knox's mission to save Boston from the British makes an unforgettable story, yet it's unfamiliar to many people.
Critic Reviews
“This series chronicles lesser-known events of the Revolutionary War. . . .The content is fascinating and the fact that a topic that is the main emphasis in one book is mentioned in other volumes in the series will cause readers to feel the connections.”
