Description

A tale of courage and bravery—the daring and dangerous trek that gave young America its first real victory, paving the way for the future of a great democratic nation.

This exciting middle grade novel is the true story of Will Knox, a nineteen-year-old young man who transported 183 cannons from New York’s Fort Ticonderoga to Boston—in the dead of winter—to help George Washington win an important battle.

Paul Revere's midnight ride...Washington crossing the Delaware...the winter crisis at Valley Forge... Some events in America's War for Independence are known to all. This book brings to history fans the story of another true episode, just as dramatic but not nearly as well known.

As you read these pages, you will agree that Colonel Knox's great adventure was a stirring, suspenseful, and important event in American history.

The fate of the revolution rests on one impossible mission.

Based on True Events: Follow Colonel Henry Knox and his younger brother, Will, on their real-life mission to haul sixty tons of artillery through 300 miles of winter wilderness. An Epic Winter Journey: Experience the biting cold, treacherous terrain, and constant danger as the convoy crosses frozen lakes and tackles the steep Berkshire Mountains. Lesser-Known Revolutionary History: Discover the incredible story of the “noble train of artillery,” a crucial episode that armed George Washington’s army and helped win a major victory. Perfect for Young History Buffs: An action-packed novel that brings a pivotal moment in American history to life, ideal for middle grade readers who love tales of bravery.
