In the Siege of Boston, Knox's amazing 300-mile transport of 59 cannons from Fort Ticonderoga saved the city. Building upon his talent for logistics, Knox engineered Washington's famous Christmas night passage to safety across the Delaware River. Puls demonstrates the centrality of Knox's contributions throughout the war, up to the tactical success of his artillery units that made the final victory at Yorktown possible." "In the postwar years, as the fledgling country was in desperate need of strong leadership, Knox employed the signature organizational skills that had earned him Washington's admiration during the war. Knox became a major advocate of the U.S. Constitution and he served the nation well as the first Secretary of War. He championed both the formation of the U.S. Navy and the founding of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Knox's relentless pursuit of an effective defense of America shaped our military strategy today."--BOOK JACKET+-+62793485964535ocn801681481book20120.22Rubin Stuart, NancyDefiant brides : the untold story of two revolutionary-era women and the radical men they married"When Peggy Shippen, the celebrated blonde belle of Philadelphia, married American military hero Benedict Arnold in 1779, she anticipated a life of fame and fortune, but financial debts and political intrigues prompted her to conspire with her treasonous husband against George Washington and the American Revolution. In spite of her commendable efforts to rehabilitate her husband's name, Peggy Shippen continues to be remembered as a traitor bride. Peggy's patriotic counterpart was Lucy Flucker, the spirited and voluptuous brunette, who in 1774 defied her wealthy Tory parents by marrying a poor Boston bookbinder simply for love. When her husband, Henry Knox, later became a famous general in the American Revolutionary War, Lucy faithfully followed him through Washington's army camps where she birthed and lost babies, befriended Martha Washington, was praised for her social skills, and secured her legacy as an admired patriot wife. And yet, as esteemed biographer Nancy Rubin Stuart reveals, a closer look at the lives of both spirited women reveals that neither was simply a "traitor" or "patriot." In Defiant Brides, the first dual biography of both Peggy Shippen Arnold and Lucy Flucker Knox, Stuart has crafted a rich portrait of two rebellious women who defied expectations and struggled-publicly and privately-in a volatile political moment in early America. Drawing from never-before-published correspondence, Stuart traces the evolution of these women from passionate teenage brides to mature matrons, bringing both women from the sidelines of history to its vital center. Readers will be enthralled by Stuart's dramatic account of the epic lives of these defiant brides, which begin with romance, are complicated by politics, and involve spies, disappointments, heroic deeds, tragedies, and personal triumphs."--Publisher's website3592ocn003186638book19770.18Peck, Robert NewtonThe King's iron2679ocn011006563book18730.63Drake, Francis SLife and correspondence of Henry Knox, major-general in the American revolutionary army+-+K4492139052038ocn001662228book19000.50Brooks, NoahHenry Knox, a soldier of the Revolution; major-general in the Continental Army, Washington's chief of artillery, first secretary of war under the Constitution, founder of the Society of the Cincinnati; 1750-18061675ocn003255836book19000.53Brooks, NoahHenry Knox, a soldier of the RevolutionThis biography explores the life of Henry Knox, a bookseller from Boston who secured his place in history when he brought the guns of Ticonderoga all the way from the shores of Lake Champlain to Dorchester Heights, near Boston, at the beginning of the American Revolution. Eventually a general in his own right, Knox and his artillery were key to ending the siege of Boston and securing General George Washington's first victory over the British, and Knox became one of Washington's most valued officers and dearest friends.
