Why the Walks? Over breakfast in 2022, three retired men – long time friends – talked about history. We observed that an actor becomes critical to a cause based on what events his actions set in motion. When Henry Knox took a risk in 1775 many were doubtful. Yet Knox’s determination prevailed. Impressed by his effort, we set out January 25, 2023 to retrace his path of Nov., 1775 through Jan. 1776 from Crown Point, NY to Cambridge, MA. Our effort will conclude 250 years after Knox began his heroic mission. We present this travelogue, covering the same countryside on which he traveled, as our testament to General Henry Knox and his Noble Train of Artillery. Henry Knox delivered cannons to Cambridge on January 25, 1776. Exactly 250 years later, we (3) retired men finished tracing his path by foot – 300 miles – and celebrated, at right at Dorchester Heights on March 17, 2026.
