This description really doesn’t explain the final feat which led to the departure of the British from Boston. It wasn’t just the arrival of the captured cannon from Fort Ticonderoga. The critical part was that the colonials managed to place the cannon on Dorchester Heights over night, catching the British by surprise. The British got up that morning to find themselves suddenly under the American guns, literally.
