Henry Knox: Bookseller, Soldier, Patriot

40 pp. | Clarion | November, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-0-618-27485-7 $17.99
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Wendell Minor. This picture book biography provides information about Knox's early life, then recounts how in 1776 he managed the transport of fifty-nine heavy artillery pieces from Lake Champlain to the siege lines outside Boston. The basic story, handsomely pictured in Minor's style of weathered Americana, is historically sound, but the text contains some inaccuracies and details unsupported by contemporaneous documents. Reading list, timeline. Bib.
Reviewer: J.L. Bell
