The Battle Road in Massachusetts is perhaps the most historic few
miles in early American history. At Lexington, soon after Paul
Revere and his cohorts roused the village from sleep, a trigger was
pulled on the Lexington Common and that shot was heard round the
world. The American War for Independence had begun. Eight dead
Americans were left on the green as the British marched on to
Concord and the battle at the bridge. These events and many others
are retraced in this wonderful new book. Using antique postcards,
the authors tell the Revolutionary War story and the rest of the
history of the Lexington-Concord region. This was a center of
intellectual and social activity in the 19th century and home to
distinguished thinkers and writers, including Thoreau, Emerson,
Alcott, and Hawthorne. Over the years millions of people have
visited the region commemorating their visit with postcard images
of the places and events they saw. Perserved in scrapbooks and
memory boxes, they now offer a visual history of special place.
