Henry Knox (July 25, 1750 – October 25, 1806) was an American military officer, politician, bookseller, and a Founding Father of the United States. Knox, born in Boston, became a senior general of the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War, serving as chief of artillery in all of George Washington's campaigns. Following the war, he oversaw the War Department under the Articles of Confederation from 1785 to 1789. Washington appointed him the nation's first Secretary of War, a position which he held from 1789 to 1794. He is well known today as the namesake of Fort Knox in Kentucky, which is often conflated with the adjacent United States Bullion Depository. (From Wikipedia) More about Henry Knox:
