Happy Birthday to Henry Knox July 25 1750. Henry Knox left for Fort Ticonderoga on November 16, 1775. Once he arrived at the fort, he selected 58 pieces of artillery to take back to Boston. Most of artillery pieces were “12-pounder” or “18-pounder” cannons . The acquisition of these cannons was a great boost for the new army against the Crown.
