Summary In 1775, in the dead of winter, a bookseller named Henry Knox and his men dragged 120,000 pounds of cannons from Fort Ticonderoga, NY, to Boston--225 miles of lakes, forest, mountains, and very few roads. It was a feat of remarkable ingenuity and determination and one of the most remarkable stories of the Revolutionary War.
