I'm continually stagged by the gumption of Henry Knox and the other Americans who trudged to Fort Ticonderoga, grabbed the cannons, cut down trees, and built their own roads to bring the guns to rescue Boston. I can remember being at Ticonderoga when I was seven, having no grasp of the distance to Boston, but still being amazed and proud to be an American.
That Christmas, my parents gave me Guns for General Washington, an excellent classic. (https://amzn.to/4cwLZFZ)
I also like the picture book Sleds on Boston Common for bringing a touch of children’s humor and also for humanizing General Gage and the rest of the British, who are no longer our mortal enemies. (https://amzn.to/4lhZZ96)
