Knox transported 60 tons of British ordnance by sled across some 300 miles of frozen rivers and mountains to the Boston siege camps.
Reaching Ticonderoga on December 5, Knox commenced what came to be known as the noble train of artillery, hauling 60 tons of cannon and other armaments by horse-drawn and ox-drawn sleds across some 300 miles (480 km) of ice-covered rivers and snow-draped Berkshire Mountains to the Boston siege camps. The ordnance was British equipment captured from Fort Ticonderoga in New York. What Knox expected to take just two weeks actually took more than six weeks.
