10 Mar 1776 Gen. Washington ordered guns to bombard Boston to cease fire as the British loaded ships for evacuation. British dumped guns & munitions they could not carry into the harbor. Loyalist gangs ransacked shops & homes & evacuated with their loot. #RevWar #History #AmRev

The Rev War Minute
11 March 1776, Cambridge, Massachusetts. General Washington establishes his personal guard. Washington’s bodyguard was an elite corps of infantry and mounted men officially known as The Commander-in-Chief’s Guard, but more commonly referred to as The Life Guard. The threat to the commander-in-chief was genuine. The guard’s purpose was to protect General George Washington. However, they were also tasked with safeguarding the Continental Army’s official papers and the general’s baggage. They served alongside him throughout the Revolutionary War. Ironically, at least one plot against Washington involved members of the corps.

12 Feb 1789, Vermont Patriot Ethan Allen dies of a stroke at age 52 on his Winooski River homestead.
Allen is best remembered as the patriotic leader of the Green Mountain Boys, who took the British fort at Ticonderoga with Benedict Arnold in May 1775. #RevWar #History
