Program Description

Event Details

The tale follows Knox’s stupendous haul of fifty-nine cannons — including the two-and-a-half-ton “Old Sow” — from Forts Crown Point and Ticonderoga to Boston. Along the way, audiences meet the determined young bookseller who lost his father (and two fingers), yet went on to win the confidence of General George Washington.
