Lexington Green, a small common at the center of town, is the setting here, showing the local militia drawn up as British regulars approached on the morning of April 19, 1775. Captain John Parker's men were badly outnumbered, and when shots broke out, eight colonists lay dead on the green. The clash opened the fighting of the Revolutionary War. Historians still debate who fired first, and engravings like this one, circulated in the colonies soon afterward, presented the morning in terms that favored the militia.
