Use of horses versus oxen edit
J.L. Bell on his blog Boston 1775 has an article about Knox favoring the use of horses for hauling cannon. The article is at: http://boston1775.blogspot.com/2012/07/knoxs-oxen.html WikiParker (talk) 22:55, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

- If you read the entire article, your question would be answered. (Failing that, you need to time travel to ask General Knox, whose turn of phrase it is.) Magic♪piano 18:45, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
- LOL at Magicpiano's time machine. Anyway, in the slang of General Knox's time, "noble" was used to describe anything perceived as being exceptionally good or desirable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:589:300:CA70:0:0:0:5486 (talk) 23:00, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
