Description

The Battle Road in Massachusetts is in all probability 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 used to be pulled on the Lexington Common and that shot “used to be 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 on the bridge. These events and lots of others are retraced on this wonderful new book. The usage of antique postcards, the authors tell the Revolutionary War story and the remainder of the history of the Lexington-Concord region. This used to be 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 time millions of people have visited the region commemorating their talk over with 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.
