Ancient Chariot with Cannon and Horses

JOIN US for a fascinating multimedia presentation by Presidential and Congressional award winning historian and public speaker Joyce Haworth.

In late 1775, scrappy American forces had a British army trapped inside Boston, but no one knew what to do next. A young, inexperienced officer suggested bombing British ships with cannons mounted on the hills. Problem: those cannons were 200 miles away across the mountains, and would have to be transported by sledge, secretly, into Boston. Join historian Joyce Haworth for one of the most unlikely and daring escapades of the American Revolution.
