Quotation from: The Beginner's American History

Written by: D.H. Montgomery


Well, we know what happened. Our men did hold that fort, and the
British had to leave Boston. Next to General Washington, General
Rufus Putnam was the man who made them go; for not many officers in
the American army could build such a fort as he could.


[Footnote 1: Rufus Putnam was born in Sutton, Massachusetts.]


[Footnote 2: Dorchester Heights: now South Boston.]
