21 St. 36 Min, 19 Apr 1775 Jahr - Leading up to the Battles

Beschreibung:

In April 1775, Gage sent agents toward Concord, a town outside of Boston reported to be the site of one of the stockpiles. The agents returned with maps detailing where arms were rumored to be stored in barns, empty buildings, and private homes. The agents also told that John Hancock and Samuel Adams, perhaps the two most prominent leaders of Resistance to British authority, were staying in Lexington, a smaller community about five miles east of Concord. Gage drew up orders for his men to march along the Lexington Road to Concord, where they would seize and destroy all munitions that they could find.
