He took and interest in cannons and polled eastern and western nations as to their capabilities of acquiring cannon fire. Because he pushed these different nations for information on cannons fire, he then became known as an authority on cannons and cannon fire. At this time Washington had arrived in Boston to command the forces. The rebel faction clearly demonstrated the knowledge of how they could beat the British. On the top of Bunker Hill, they had stationed riflemen whose job it was to knock out the British. Brown saw that they had no cannon but remembered the British had left a cannon in an abandoned fort. Brown said to General Washington, "We will a have the cannon ready when you are." Twenty men then sailed up to Fort Ticonderoga. The men began the arduous task of getting the cannon from the fort to the top of Bunker Hill. When the cannon opened fire, the British, rather than lose any ships, abandoned the fields below. This was the first outright victory by the rebels. The cannon forced the British to evacuate Boston and leave the field to the rebels. General Washington won and saved Boston. Ultimately Ben established a casting machine to make cannons and bullets. 2 Ed Hanrahan
