In this masterwork, Don Troiani recreates the moment at Concord Bridge that began the American Revolution. Led by Maj. John Buttrick, the Minutemen faced three companies of British Light Infantry across the wooden bridge near Concord, Massachusetts. The Acton Company armed with muskets and bayonets was in the lead as the British opened fire without warning after being warned to stop removing planks from the bridge. Buttrick ordered, "Fire, fellow soldiers, for God's sake, fire!" The Americans returned fire, forcing the British to retreat in disorder toward Concord. Pursued along the road back to Boston, the British suffered heavy casualties - 73 killed, 174 wounded, and 26 missing or captured. The events of April 19th, 1775 began what would lead to eight years of conflict that would result in American independence.
