Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Battle of Lake George was the final battle of the French and Indian War, and it was a victory for the British. The Americans were able to capture Fort Ticonderoga, which gave them access to the cannons stored there. #2 The American army surrounded Boston in 1776, but they lacked artillery to take the British-held Fort Ticonderoga. Benedict Arnold was tasked with taking the fort, but he had no idea how to get the cannons to the men who needed them. #3 Henry Knox, the son of a failed shipbuilder, was hired by Messrs. Wharton and Bowes to work at their bookshop in south Boston. He took on the job with secret pride, believing he could save the family from financial ruin and restore the Knox name. #4 Henry’s father, William Knox, was a successful merchant who made money building ships for 25 to 50 percent less than England due to the availability of cheap labor and lumber. The Irishman prospered, buying a wharf in Boston Harbor, a construction yard, and a picturesque, two-story, wood sided home with a gambrel roof and two fireplaces on Sea Street.

The inspiring story of a little-known hero's pivotal role in the American Revolutionary WarDuring the brutal winter of 1775-1776, an untested Boston bookseller named Henry Knox commandeered an oxen train hauling sixty tons of cannons and other artillery from Fort Ticonderoga near the Canadian border. He and his men journeyed some three hundred miles south and east over frozen, often-treacherous terrain to supply George Washington for his attack of British troops occupying Boston. The result was the British surrender of Boston and the first major victory for the Colonial Army. This is one of the great stories of the American Revolution, still little known by comparison with the more famous battles of Concord, Lexington, and Bunker Hill. Told with a novelist's feel for narrative, character, and vivid description, The Noble Train brings to life the events and people at a time when the ragtag American rebels were in a desperate situation. Washington's army was withering away from desertion and expiring enlistments. Typhoid fever, typhus, and dysentery were taking a terrible toll. There was little hope of dislodging British General Howe and his 20,000 British troops in Boston—until Henry Knox arrived with his supply convoy of heavy armaments. Firing down on the city from the surrounding Dorchester Heights, these weapons created a decisive turning point. An act of near desperation fueled by courage, daring, and sheer tenacity led to a tremendous victory for the cause of independence.This exciting tale of daunting odds and undaunted determination highlights a pivotal episode that changed history.

Download Henry Knox Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
A hearty eater, dapper dresser, bookseller to Loyalists and Patriots alike,and married into a staunch Loyalist family, Henry Knox may seem an unlikely hero.But his fascination with warfare and strategy and his support of the Patriot cause prepared him to do what no one else thought was possible: transport heavy artillery from Fort Ticonderoga, up and down snow-covered hills and across frozen lakes, to relieve the siege of Boston. The dramatic story of his achievements is all the more satisfying for being absolutely true, a little-known episode in the history of the American Revolution. Source notes, time line, bibliography, map.
