 | Guns for General Washington by Richard Ross, Seymour V. Reit
A fictionalized account of a true event from the Revolutionary War. During the winter 1775-76, George Washington needed guns and ammunition to help reclaim the city of Boston. A daring plan was suggested--transporting 183 cannons from Fort Ticonderoga in New York to Boston. However, this meant moving the guns over the mountainous wilderness--a feat that was further impeded by the winter weather. Here, this event is replayed via the story of two brothers who participated in the mission. AUTHOR: Richard Ross, Seymour V. Reit
