General Henry Knox, John Singleton Copley, 1805
General Henry Knox was one of the best Revolutionary War generals. He was the artillery officer sent by Washington during the siege of Boston to retrieve the cannons from Fort Ticonderoga. Knox's bringing the cannons to Dorchester Heights was a key part of the eventual victory and British evacuation. In this painting Knox is shown next to a cannon, because he was an artilleryman.
