Joseph Hodgkins

On January 24, 1775, the Massachusetts Provincial Congress formed a special company of Minuteman in which Captain Nathaniel Wade would be the commander and Lieutenant Hodgkins would be the second in command.

The letters have since been featured in several works of non-fiction including Library of America's The American Revolution: Writings from the War of Independence , David McCullough's 1776, and Ray Raphael's A People's History of the American Revolution.

Meanwhile, his friend Wade was eventually promoted to Lieutenant colonel and made aide-de-camp to General George Washington, and was placed in command of West Point, New York after the treason of General Benedict Arnold.
