    One of the most notable generals in George Washington's army was Henry Knox of Massachusetts. In a remarkable feat, he recovered cannon and mortars from Fort Ticonderoga and transported them to Cambridge. His diary documents the difficulties of this midwinter journey, which was plagued with obstacles.
