Synopsis
Despite the harsh chill of a New England winter, several towns in Massachusetts in early 1775 burned with a revolutionary fervor. With the springtime thaw came the specter of impending war, engulfing every Massachusetts citizen from Menotomy and Lexington to Lincoln and Concord. Historian D. Michael Ryan illuminates the daily deeds, trials and emotions of uprising experienced by Patriots and Loyalists, women and men, people of color and children during the first days of the Revolutionary War. Through a series of compelling essays, Ryan debunks many historical myths and brings forth little-remembered facts in honoring those who won recognition for our freedoms and thus became the first real heroes of a fledgling United States. These accounts of the time when our "shot heard round the world" was fired provide a glimpse into the hidden realities of the American Revolution., Any red-blooded American knows that the first action of the Revolutionary War took place at Concord, Massachusetts, with the "shot heard 'round the world." But a good deal of what is widely known about those early days of the Revolution is wrong. In this new book, historian D. Michael Ryan illuminates acts of uprising of Patriots and Loyalists during the first action of the Revolutionary War in and around Concord. Through a series of compelling essays, Ryan debunks historical myths and salutes those who fought for the recognition of our nation and became the first heroes of the fledgling United States. What was romanticized and changed in the generations since the Revolution is presented here directly through the voices of the people who faced the shocking facts of war and rebellion. From Dr. Samuel Prescott, who joined Paul Revere on his famous ride and left fiancée Lydia Mulliken behind, to the mystery of the Bedford Flag unfurled on April 19, these stories reveal the truths of our founding fathers and mothers. As their lives were interrupted by the birth of a country, the citizens of Concord saw their friends and neighbors engaged in acts of bravery and of depravity.
