April 19, 1775: The British View Point
Saturday April 19, 1:00 PM
Fort Devens Museum, 94 Jackson Road, Devens, MA
Although the events and story of Lexington and Concord are well known, the British side is too often dismissed or ignored. What did the British know about the supplies at Concord and the countryside? How was the march to Boston conducted? This presentation will explore the British side through the use of first person documents and accounts to provide a new and complimentary account of the day’s events.
