Below is a brief synopsis:

At the dawn of the war for America's independence, colonist rebels learned of a British plan to seize a cache of arms and capture several leaders in Lexington and Concord outside of Boston. Standing ready to sound the alarm were Paul Revere and other men, ready for "The Late Night Ride". They would look to the Church for a signal of the "redcoats" approach and ride their horses to quickly warn the population of the coming invasion. Would all the riders complete this historical feat without being captured?

Not long after Paul Revere's ride, Ethan Allen and his Green Mountain Boys captured Fort Ticonderoga, a British outpost. After their victory, the men found cannons that the Patriots

desperately needed for their siege of Boston. Can Henry Knox pull off a logistical miracle and retrieve the artillery from the fort before it's too late? Find out in the gripping story of "Ticonderoga".
