The scene is Lexington Green, where a small company of Massachusetts militia under Captain John Parker stood before dawn on April 19, 1775, as a column of British regulars approached on the road to Concord. The clash that followed is generally regarded as the opening engagement of the American Revolutionary War, and eight militiamen were killed on the green. The fighting quickly spread along the road toward Concord and back toward Boston. Prints of the event circulated widely in the years after, helping shape how Americans remembered that morning as the start of the war.
