A while back I was in Boston with a history buff. He forced me to go to Lexington and Concord. The trail that the British took from Boston to Lexington and Concord is still there. It has been preserved as a park the path the Redcoats took is there. You can walk the path and pretend your a Redcoat. You can go up into the woods and hide behind a tree and pretend your a colonial militiaman. I would encourage you to do this sometime.crazy2medic wrote: ↑Tue Mar 31, 2020 11:17 am Spanish flu started in kansas!
I taught my son and daughter about the American Revolution and why it was fought! My daughter obviously told her teacher interesting points of the Revolution, this got me invited to her history class on the subject, my talk was over the Boston Tea party and into Lexington and Concord, I got permission from the Teacher and the school Principal to bring a Flintlock Rifle with me! I insisted they provide a me with a Permission/Authorization letter! It was a very interesting to be able to do that but it was around 2005 or so, that would NEVER happen today!
All I have to say is those Redcoats were in a passel of trouble. It was a turkey shoot. Because of the ravine, the trail followed it at the bottom. The militiamen on the high ground could be on both sides and not worry about hitting each other. Trees provided great cover.
It is something you need to see in person. History sort of came alive for me that day.
