Thomas Gage Knihy
Generál Thomas Gage bol britský vojenský dôstojník, ktorý slúžil mnoho rokov v Severnej Amerike a je známy svojou úlohou v počiatkoch americkej revolúcie. Pochádzal z aristokratickej rodiny a počas svojej kariéry sa zúčastnil niekoľkých konfliktov vrátane Francúzskej a indiánskej vojny, kde slúžil po boku budúceho protivníka Georgea Washingtona. Po dobytí Montrealu sa stal jeho vojenským guvernérom a preukázal sa ako schopný administrátor. Jeho pokusy o zabavenie vojenských zásob v Massachusetts v roku 1775 vyvolali bitky pri Lexingtone a Concorde, ktoré začali Americkú revolučnú vojnu.
