Henry Knox@s gritty effort to drag a large number of cannons from Fort Ticonderoga in northeastern New York to Boston. George Washington@s embarrassment and fury in dealing with Benedict Arnold@s young wife - hysterical and scantily clad - on the day Arnold deserted the American cause. British soldiers who got General Charles Lee@s horse drunk after capturing Lee one morning in a surprise raid on his New Jersey "bed and breakfast." Teenager Andrew Jackson, later president, rescued from British captivity by his mother, to Britain@s chagrin. Burton Gwinnett of Georgia, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, who was fatally wounded in a senseless pistol duel by Lachlan McIntosh, a patriot leader.
