About This Book
A photographer's guided visual tour of the New England towns where the opening engagements of the American Revolution unfolded, presenting seasonal views of streets, countryside and preserved landmarks. Images progress along the route taken by British forces on April 19, 1775, from village taverns and meetinghouses through the Battle Green and along the Battle Road to Concord Bridge. Captions describe restored facades and interior relics such as tavern rooms and bullet scars, monuments, authors' residences, and reconstructed features, emphasizing the rural landscape and the ways local preservation keeps the historical topography and material culture vividly present.
