dc.descriptionThis portrait of General Henry Knox was painted by Charles Willson Peale in 1784. Henry Knox was a Revolutionary War general whose efforts to build a robust American militia were paramount to the colonies� victory against Britain, as well as the development of the early Republic�s armed forces. A self-taught pupil of military history, Knox possessed a keen understanding of martial strategy that catapulted him to the roles of Chief Artillery Officer, General, and ultimately Secretary of War.1 Throughout his life, Knox�s �buoyant� disposition and loyal character made him a friend to many, including George Washington., Washington entrusted Knox with some of the most critical responsibilities of the war and was to become of the Secretary of War in Washington's Cabinet
