The American colonel who captured a key British fortress at Yorktown was Colonel Thomas Knowlton. He served as an aide to General George Washington and played a significant role in the American Revolutionary War. Knowlton led the Knowlton's Rangers, one of the first American military intelligence units, and his leadership contributed to the successful siege of Yorktown in 1781, which ultimately led to British surrender.
