August 3, 1775: The Ammunition Crisis, Part 2

As noted, two days ago we told you about how George Washington got the bad news that he didn’t have nearly as much gunpowder and ammunition as he thought he did. It was on this day in history that he and his team of generals put their heads together and came up with some rather solutions. Some of them depended on deception while others depended on dumb luck. Fortunately things worked out quite well. The post August 3, 1775: The Ammunition Crisis, Part 2 appeared first on 250 and Counting.
