  • 12 and 18 lb cannon, meaning they shot cannon balls weighing that much. One brass 24 pounder. 58 French mortars total. Total weight 120,00 lbs. New York. Depart Fort Ticonderoga on December 9th. Bitterly cold. 300 mile journey to Boston, then on Monday the 4th of March, 1 degree, haul all of this up 115 feet to the top of the Heights of Dorchester. General Washignton has his first strategic advantage over the British. Henry Knox, 25 years old.

  • Yeah, I just read about it. He went through mountains and lakes and even retrieved an 18 ton cannon that had fell in a river! What a perseverant man.

  • hahahahahahahaha....thanks DUDE really helped me out!
