    Battles of Lexington and Concord - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battles_of_Lexington_and_Concord Coordinates: 42°26′58.7″N 71°13′51.0″W From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Battles of Lexington and Concord were the first military engagements of the American Revolutionary War.[9][10] They were fought Battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775, in Middlesex County, Province of Massachusetts Bay, Part of the American Revolutionary War within the towns of Lexington, Concord, Lincoln, Menotomy (present-day Arlington), and Cambridge, near Boston. The battles marked the outbreak of open armed conflict between the Kingdom of Great Britain and its thirteen colonies in the mainland of British North America. About 700 British Army regulars, under Lieutenant Colonel Francis Smith, were given secret orders to capture and destroy military supplies that were reportedly stored by the Massachusetts militia at Concord. Through effective intelligence gathering, Patriot colonials had received word weeks before the expedition that their supplies might be at risk and had moved most of them to other locations. They also received details about British plans on the night before the battle and were able to rapidly notify the area militias of the enemy movement. Romanticized 19th century depiction of Battle of Lexington Date April 19, 1775 The first shots were fired just as the sun was rising at Lexington. The militia were outnumbered and fell back, and the regulars proceeded on to Location Middlesex County, Massachusetts Concord, where they searched for the supplies. At the North Bridge in Lexington: 42°26′58.7″N Concord, approximately 500 militiamen fought and defeated three 71°13′51.0″W companies of the King's troops.

  • Concord Minute Man of 1775 1889, Cast 1917
    April 2012 Concord Minute Man of 1775 1889, cast 1917 Daniel Chester French Born: Exeter, New Hampshire 1850 Died: Stockbridge, Massachusetts 1931 Gorham Manufacturing Company (Founder) bronze 32 1/4 x 17 1/8 x 18 3/8 in. (81.9 x 43.5 x 46.7 cm.) Smithsonian American Art Museum Museum purchase 1991.193 Collections Webpage and High Resolution Image The Concord Minute Man of 1775 is representative of crucial period in American history; the American Revolution and our fight for independence. Though this bronze cast of the Minute Man was created in 1917, the composition comes directly from a larger-than-life bronze sculpture in Concord, MA created in 1875 by Daniel Chester French. Researcher Laura wanted to investigate if French accurately depicted the Minute Man but she first needed to understand why French originally created the first sculpture in 1875. • Why and how did Daniel Chester French create the original version of this sculpture in 1875? What was happening in United States history at the time that might correspond to the creation of this sculpture? • Did French accurately depict a Minute Man? Is this a realistic depiction or an imaginative interpretation? This artwork proved a challenge to work on as the museum already knew a great deal of information about this particular casting. I decided that we needed to know more about the original sculpture French created which inspired our smaller cast he had made years later. I knew that in order to answer the above query concerning the historical accuracy of French’s sculpture, I would have to explore the origins of the first cast of this sculpture.

It consists of three major segments, each of approximately 5 miles: 1. Little Farms Road to Route 27 2. Route 27 to the Lincoln Boat Launch on Route 117 3. Lincoln Boat Launch Route 117 to Old Calf Pasture/Egg Rock Visit www.sudbury-assabet-concord.org for more information or to request a Boater’s Trail Guide. 1. Little Farms Road to Route 27 This section of the Boater’s Trail begins in the shaded, meandering reaches of the Sudbury River and runs about 5 miles to the beginnings of the wide open flood plains in Sudbury and Wayland. Take modest precaution because the water can be quick moving in the upper portion of this section in the spring. Along the way there are many natural and historical sites of interest, including the Oxbow, a natural river feature near the put-in, and remnants of the Old Stone Bridge. The River passes to the east of Heard Pond in Wayland and enters Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge. Towards the conclusion of this section, the flood plains open in to wide meadows where there is opportunity to view numerous water birds. 2. Route 27 to Route 117, Lincoln Boat Launch on Route 117 The meadows reach their widest just downstream of Route 27.

The wS ift aW ter Place: Water Quality, Fish Ecology, and Hydropower in the Merrimack River since the Time of Thoreau Abstract The eM rrimack River and its landscape reflect the priorities that have shaped the stream for two centuries. When Henry David Thoreau and his brother John put their dory into the Merrimack in September of 1839, they were paddling into a landscape that was shifting towards water-powered industries and mill cities. The legal transformation of water and the completion of the Great Stone Dam at Lawrence in 1847 spelled the end of the anadromous fish runs that had populated the Merrimack for centuries. Salmon restoration proceeded for three decades after the Civil War until fish passage failed.
