This is a really interesting story about the man who had General Gage's job before he did; Thomas Hutchinson. Hutchinson was in office through much of the troubles leading up to April 19, 1775, including the Boston Tea Party. As you can imagine, the King and Parliament didn't take too kindly to that and Hutchinson was one of the people to pay for it.
