## Resource

"Capture of Fort William and Mary" by Charles Lathrop Parsons recounts the pivotal events of December 14, 1774, when local Patriots, led by John Langdon, successfully stormed Fort William and Mary in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. This audacious act not only involved overcoming a small caretaker detachment but also resulted in the seizure of vital gunpowder, which was distributed across the colony in preparation for the impending struggle against British rule. The following day, John Sullivan led another raid, capturing cannons that would later play a crucial role in the Battle of Bunker Hill.
