Henry Knox is a fascinating character. Appreciate your applying today’s leadership needs to this man. At only 25 years of age, Knox led a small group of men on a 300-mile journey from Boston to Fort Ticonderoga in New York State. Once there, his men disassembled cannon taken when the British surrendered the fort and retreated to Canada in May 1775. In less than 8 weeks, Knox and his men moved 60 tons of artillery across lakes and rivers, through ice and snow to Boston, where the British, now out-gunned, fled.

Another interesting read on one of our nation’s great leaders (past and present) that I recommend is “Washington, A Life” by Ron Chernow. Such an compelling read, and as Knox’s commander, this book details the true friendship these two heroes had and I haven’t been able to put it down.

Have a great 2013!
