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.
