April 22 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Henry Knox’s Noble Train: The Story of a Boston Bookseller’s Heroic Expedition That Saved the American Revolution.
Special Guest Announcement:
We are delighted to welcome Stuart Lilie, Vice President of Public History at the Fort Ticonderoga Association, who will join our discussion to share insights on Henry Knox’s remarkable journey and the enduring legacy of Fort Ticonderoga in Revolutionary history.
For Spring 2026, the Yale Club of Vermont Book Club features a work that is both timely and of local interest. Almost exactly 250 years ago, Henry Knox transported cannons through frozen terrain from Fort Ticonderoga to Massachusetts to help relieve Boston from the British.
Fort Ticonderoga is a regional gem and, along with the Ethan Allen associations, looms large in Vermont history. The 250th anniversary of the “Noble Train” has been marked by extensive reenactments between our region and Boston.
Join us on Zoom on Wednesday, April 22, from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. for a lively discussion of the book and the history of the Revolution in northern New England.
The Yale Club of Vermont now formally invites all New England Yale Clubs to join us for these virtual book gatherings. Many of our clubs include members spread across remote islands, mountain towns, and wooded communities, where coming together online offers a meaningful way to connect. Alumni from across the region — and others who find their way to us — are warmly welcome.
Registration is now open!
