Under the watchful eyes of Generals Henry Knox and Baron Steuben and accompanied by the cheers of his military family of Continental troops, Washington had put the wick to the touch-hole of an 18-pounder whose discharge gave the signal for “a furious discharge of cannon and mortars” as James Thacher reported gleefully. During the roughly 195 hours of artillery fire between 3:00 p.m. on 9 October and late afternoon of 17 October when Cornwallis agreed to a cease-fire on Washington’s terms, allied batteries fired almost 15,500 shells of all calibers into Yorktown, some 80 rounds per hour. Two days later, defeated Crown forces laid down their arms. The artillery had won its work. The miracle no one had dared to hope for during the dark January days at Morristown had been achieved. |
