Lexington and Concord
On 19 April 1775, at Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts, a column of British soldiers marched to the countryside to collect arms and munitions from the Patriot Militia. The "Red Coats" marched in regimental formation down the main roads towards Lexington and Concord. As the British entered the village they were met by a small but very effect band of men from neighboring towns in Massachusetts. Below are the (17) seventeen Kidder's that responded to the alarm at Lexington and Concord.
