## Resource

A war is a series of battles won. The American Revolution is no different. For the colonies and George Washington to beat the larger British military force, individual battles had to be fought. One victory won by the Patriots early on, did not involve a direct battle. The Fortification of Dorchester Heights, and the subsequent British Evacuation of Boston, exemplifies the early genius of General Washington and the fortitude of hero Henry Knox. Join our special guest, Professor Robert Allison, Professor of History at Suffolk University and Chair of Revolution 250, as we learn about these incredible events.
