Thomas Preston (1722-1798)

Many Bostonians hate your presence and make life difficult for you and your men. You are the officer in charge at the Boston Massacre. However, you are
found innocent when tried for murder. At your trial, John Adams is your lawyer. You tell General Gage that your defense lawyers are skillful, but John Adams grumbles that you do not thank him personally. By
the time you leave town, you are so sick of Bostonians that you wish General Gage victory over Boston's
"knaves and foolish villains."
