Product Details:

Washington at Dorchester Heights by Emanuel Gottlieb Leutze depicts General George Washington overseeing the fortification of Dorchester Heights during the American Revolutionary War in March 1776. This decisive moment led to the British evacuation of Boston, marking a significant early victory for the Continental Army. The fortification of Dorchester Heights was a critical turning point in the Revolution. Washington, with the help of General Henry Knox, transported heavy artillery from Fort Ticonderoga across harsh winter terrain to position them on the heights. This bold move rendered British positions in Boston untenable. On March 17, 1776, British General William Howe was forced to evacuate the city, giving the Continental Army its first major victory and boosting morale for the revolution.
