Ralph Waldo Emerson called it "The Shot Heard 'Round the World". In this episode, we're picking up where we left off at Lexington to explore the battlefield at Concord where Minute Men & militia poured out from the hillsides to engage the British regulars in the start of the American Revolution.

Being British this is all new history to me, cuz funnily enough we are taught next to nothing in UK schools about the war of independence. Please keep up the great work your work is greatly appreciated.

Why didn't they teach about it in British schools? Probably because it doesn't portray the Empire in a glorious way. In the United States, there hasn't been much teaching about the Revolutionary War In the past 20 years or so either. It's intended to make the people complacent and soft.

The British did have Light Infantry which did flanking movements against the Militia. Ultimately though. the militia and minuteman groups began pouring in with vast numbers and the British retreat was nearly a complete rout. Lord Percy’s relief column (armed with 2 field pieces) saved the British Expedition.

They sure did know the territory!!! Weird tho all that big dig stuff going on. Even at Plymouth Harbor. Well way back wasnt there land sold Plymouth Harbor, Salem, Hanscom AFB too i believe and Maine. Salame. I will go see if you want me to show you. It is in one of my old books. I used to love going to the Old North Bridge. It was a bit of as shock when i visited and all the trees were gone. They told me they did it to make it more like it used to be. Idk. They did leave the initial tree. 😊 Pretty cool thing i learned on my journey with Jesus the Christ. Concord ance and lexington lexicon. Samuel adams. Paul Revere's God Almighty, The Most High, The Heavenly Father and The Son, Jesus the Christ our Saviour. Meriam's corner (the turn) from or back to God Almighy the Elohym of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob which is great and all written in the bible, the Good News. God is real! My brother used to hang out at the armory. Today I put on God's armor first but looks like they did too when i read the antique books. That place was really cool. Oh I could go on and on. I have learned sooooo much more since receiving Jesus in my life and following Him with all my heart. The Heavenly Father is so much a part of our history. Anyhow, I knew a Blue Angel from there too. Oh yeah, was different back then there was a restaurant called Willow Pond Kitchen. People from all over would visit it. Thats gone now but yeah. Thanks for sharing your video.

Thanks for covering this battle, the Part 2 of the start of the American Revolution. I hope you took time to go eat and visit the gift shop of the Concord Inn. There are legends of ghosts there too 🤣. Nevertheless, the food and beer was awesome. And to sit in the same room, by the fireplace, where officers and leaders would have made many of their plans to defend the land from the Brittish was a humbling experience. When I took my junior officers on a battlefield tour a few years ago, we ended the day with dinner there for that very experience.

There's something about going to places with such history and power behind them. I've never been able to make it up to the northeast, but I've been other historic locations that hold that power. Most notably is Dachau near Munich. It made my knees weak around there. It would be a different feeling to be in a place like the Concord Inn where the impact of those ghosts was hugely positive. Some day.....

You're doing this subject justice JD. It's one of my favorires. I've been there dozens of times over the years, and know this story well - as well as some interesting back stories. Contrary to Longellows poem about the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere , it was actually young Dr. Samuel Prescott, who warned the town of Concord that the British soldiers were coming. He is one of the unsung heroes of that day. Revere was given the credit because he was a well connected, wealthy, city boy. Poor Samuel was believed to have died in a British prison, in 1777. However, his home still stands next door to Louisa May Alcott's home (of Little Women fame).

Brilliant! Once again, you show nothing beats the length and breadth of actually being on the ground where the struggle took place. Several thoughts have come to mind about what happened. One, would I be able to count on my neighbors to stand with me should something like this happen today? Second, the Crown Troops Intel was poor, as they should never have stepped out of Boson with every tree and stone wall would conceal an angry Colonial. It was a shame they would leave their dead and wounded on the field but they seem to have a habit of that. Five hours north of us near Mackinac City they had a garrison about the same time as the revolution, they had found a couple graves where they would bury soldiers where they died of natural causes. Can’t wait for the next one as I know what is coming but never have seen the actual sites.

@jeffreardon3969 Жыл бұрын

The townspeople of Concord were upset that there was only one monument on the British side of the bridge. They actually built up a fire around the monument in protest and cracked the obelisk. If you look carefully at the obelisk, you will see the crack midway up on the monument. After that they erected the minuteman statue memorial on the other side. The minuteman statue was done by a world-renowned sculptor named French I believe. This battle was also the site of the first atrocity of the war which created a hatred between the colonists and the British soldiers. A young man who lived in what is now the Colonial Inn in downtown Concord went to the bridge, where he encountered 2 wounded British soldiers and he butchered them with an ax and killed them. The British returned to the site and saw the massacre and after that felt the colonists were savages, so the animosity was extreme on both sides. There were more atrocities by the British on their march back to Boston.

The Concord Minuteman was the first public monument executed by Daniel Chester French, which he created at the ripe old age of 22, and for which he was paid the handsome sum of $1000. (fun fact: French’s father was the inventor of the French Drain, an irrigation device still in use to this day.) Underneath the base of the statue are two time capsules, one of which dates from the Centennial in 1875 and the other from the Bicentennial in 1975.

I’d like to share a bit of information with you though if you haven’t heard of it. It was said that the people of concord upon hearing that the regulars were coming they took most of the munitions and buried them in recently plowed fields so as not to be found but left some to be found by the regulars so that they would have something to find bc they already knew the regulars knew they were stock piling munitions

My family and I visited here in 2008. I remember standing on the Green at Lexington and being very sobered at the thought of theme that took a stand on that very spot, and how some gave their lives. Definitely a place I will visit again.

Abner Hosmer was my great, great (not sure how many greats, lol) uncle. His father, John, lived next to Emerson, and Emerson wrote about his family quite a bit, especially in his journals. His father and either one or two of his brothers also fought at Concord. Abner was the company musician, and when he was killed he was armed only with a fife and a pocketknife. Great episode, I enjoyed it immensely.

I've always loved history. You bring it to life, and show us the beautiful parts of the U.S. I've never seen or been to. Thank you for all your efforts to educate the curious minds of history "students".
