Show Me the Money
There was one thing Washington needed five years into war more than guns: money. He asked Knox to raise funds for him. Knox completed his mission successfully—and displayed his versatility once again.
In 1782 he was posted at West Point, where he remained until the British finally agreed to leave New York and the war ended. Knox then returned to Boston to continue his service to the United States.
An Unfortunate Demise
Congress appointed Knox to a position as secretary of war in 1785. He continued in that position until 1794, when he resigned due to the time-honored excuse of family obligations. His claim was not too far-fetched: Knox and his wife Lucy had thirteen children, of which only one survived to adulthood. And he was building a new house in Thomaston, Maine, to which he wanted to retire. The house was actually a mansion, and it created tension between Knox and the residents of Thomaston.
