Logistics before DLA: How agency missions explain America’s Revolutionary War success
Henry Knox stands next to a cannon in this 1806 painting by famed American artist Gilbert Stuart. Knox served as George Washington’s chief of artillery during the Revolutionary War, escorting cannon from Fort Ticonderoga in central New York to Dorchester Heights south of Boston during the winter of 1775-1776. He later served as secretary of war under the Confederation Congress and in the Washington administration. Library of Congress photo
