Considered one of the most stupendous logistical feats of the American Revolution, an expedition organized by Col. Henry Knox transports fifty-eight tons of brass and iron weaponry from Fort Ticonderoga (where they had been left behind by the British) down the Hudson River, over the Berkshire hills, across today's Massachusetts to Cambridge, and finally to Dorchester Heights overlooking Boston. Author Mary Ames Mitchell, a former elementary school teacher and a descendant of Henry Knox, wrote and illustrated this story as a sing-along ballad for her grandchildren.

Expert genealogist, researcher, and former elementary school teacher, Mary Ames Mitchell, has traveled the United States and Great Britain seeking stories about her ancestors - one of them being General Henry Knox. Using her degrees in Art History from Wheaton College, Graphic Design from Art Center College of Design, and Education from the University of Southern California, she compiles books, slide presentations, animations, and ballads such as this to pass the stories on to her children and grandchildren. Through diligent research, she has proven ancestral links through the Society of Mayflower Descendants, the Jamestowne Society, and the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution. Hundreds of those ancestors helped settle the Boston area.
