  2. Thomas Gage lll     Thomas Gage was born in 1721 .He was born in Firle, Gloucestershire, England. His father was Thomas Gage l, and his mother was Margaret Kemble.     Some people know that he was governor of Massachusetts, but what most people don't know is he was also the governor of Montreal. He entered the army in 1741. His military career began in North America in 1754, when he sailed with his regiment to serve in the last French and Indian War. He was a General and military commander in the early days of the Revolutionary War. Gage was also in the Battle of Bunker Hill, then was replaced by William Howe.     Gage's life ended in April 2, 1787 when he died suddenly, but no one knows how. 

  3. Quotes From Gage Himself " But, more importantly in this situation, he is a very experienced sailor. He would not have taken any unwarranted risks, especially having his youngest son with him.''     He said this to a lower ranking officer because he admired how a sailor fought his hardest and still cared about not dying  for his son would be alone.  “The batteries went low. He simply wasn't able to make effective use  of it.”     I think his expression meant, that a solider got so overwhelmed he just  couldn't take it any more of the battle.
