General George Washington could not get permission from the Continental Congress to attack Boston, they feared the total destruction of the city. [|Colonel Henry Knox] offered to go to the abandoned British fort, [|Ticonderoga], and retrieve the cannon there for their cause. On November 16, 1776 Knox, his brother William, and one thousand dollars left for the fort. The winter was brutal and the troops were disheartened and worn. Colonel Knox did in fact bring the cannon to Dorchester. It took two months, with the help of patriots and townspeople on the way, to get the cannon there. He floated the cannon down Lake George and then they were carried overland on sleds driven by oxen. The courage and conviction of Henry Knox gave the Continental Army the fire power to fortify [|Dorchester Heights] and drive the British out of Boston.
