There are times when the average person is plunged into a very difficult situation by pure chance. It is the actions of this average person that determines the outcome of a significant event.
Such was the case on a cold February day 244 years ago as our Continental Army under the command of General George Washington fought a bitter war. The well organized and trained soldiers from England engaged the Continental Army time and time again with some success and ultimate failure.
On Feb. 25, 1777, orders were sent from General Washington to two men in New Hampshire, Colonels Stark and Poore. This important message requested troops be recruited and immediately dispatched to Ticonderoga, New York.
