The illustrations of this picture book seemed to share more about Henry than the text. Henry Knox is not a name I remember learning about in school, and this biography taught me about his part in the battle for Boston. The author also touched on the hardships men faced, like harsh weather conditions. ( )

Local bookseller Henry Knox did the impossible to support General George Washington. Using ropes, chains, boats, and sleds drawn by oxen and horses, Knox organized and moved 59 cannons over 300 miles from New York to Boston for the fight against the British. Bibliography

During the American Revolution, the British and American Army were at war in Boston. The British army was huge and the American Army knew they were at a disadvantage. General George Washington decided he wanted cannons that he knew he could take them down. However he did not know how he was going to get those cannons to Boston. I learned that Boston bookseller named Henry Knox was the person who obtained cannons for General George Washington in the time fo the war. He taught himself "soldiering" from books he sold and set out to get the cannons. Through rain, snow, thick mud and over frozen lakes, Henry got the cannons to Boston in time for General Washington and his soldiers to prepare and win the war. This book is excellent in teaching students about the American Revolutionary War. ( )

In the winter of 1775 was when the American Revolution had begun. The Patriots of Boston, Massachusetts were being held by the British Army, and Washington knew that with cannons, he could drive the soldiers from Boston. General Washington went on a long adventure, covering 40 miles a day for a week riding on horseback. Henry chose 120,000 pounds of cannon, 59 in total. They had 3 boats come in order to transport the cannons, but they went through rough seas. After 10 days and almost 40 miles on the water, they finally reached land. They continued to struggle back to Massachusetts, and arrived 3 months later to scare the British away. 9,000 British soldiers fled the city, and the Americans won back their city on March 17, 1776.

Henry Knox is not a name I remember learning about in the Revolutionary War in school. This picture book biography taught me about someone I never heard of before playing a big role in the battle for Boston. Brown also touched on a lot of hardships men faced in those times like harsh weather conditions and a lot of traveling. ( )
