Historian Jim Percoco explains the arduous task that faced the Continental Army as they attempted to force the British out of Boston from 1775 through 1776. From Henry Knox’s daring wintertime journey to Fort Ticonderoga and back to fetch artillery, to Washington’s struggle to effectively organize the Continental Army for the first time.
This is a rebranded version of one of our existing Revolutionary War In4 videos.

Your channel is teaching me so much about our Country's Beginnings. Thank you! I'm discovering how brave and determined our men were.

I'm going through Michael Troy's American Revolution podcast right now. I'm learning so much. Howe just took Philadelphia and Washington settled at Valley Forge for winter quarters.

Been reading Chernow’s Washington biography and these videos have been a great compliment, thank you!

Thanks Green Mountain Boys and Co.! Did NOT know that fact. Courageous folks, middle of Winter, to save a town that most had never been to. We must remember our history, and that NO ONE can tear our Country apart. No King. No empire. No one. Americans, sticking together, are unstoppable! 🇺🇸

The effort Knox made was HERCULEAN !

Knox trekking cannons and horse through the Massachusetts and NY wilderness in the winter reminds me of Hannibal in the Alps.

I read somewhere where I believe it was the brother or cousin of Israel Putman who was one of Washington’s general/officer recommended building chandeliers out of wood. And then moving them into place during the dark of night. Luckily it was a moonlit night and then in the morning the fog had settled into Boston, allowing Washington to move the chandeliers into place without being seen.

Not entirely true. The British tried to disloge washingtom from Dorchester Heights overlooking Boston and the harbor. There were either 2 or 3 charges up Dorchester Heights (what is now South Boston). All were unsuccesful. That's when the British commander left Boston by sea.

My fellow New Englanders, we must rise to meet these many Torrey Kings and Queens to regain our independence and our God given rights set to ink at Independence Hall in Philadelphia in July of 1776. We must have our voices heard long, loud, and all across America.

The best story!

As I've heard this story the cannons were a bluff. Cannons they had ammunition they didn't.

I also heard the same thing that he had no ammunition or powder it was one big bluff. They were afraid he was going to knock the ships down and sink them and that's what made them leave
