As an aside, there is a magazine-like book that is a collection of the recollections of those who fought at Lexington Green, on both sides, those who were just there, those who heard about it in second hand accounts immediately after, and those who were descended from those who were there, whose information was family history.

“What Happened on Lexington Green: An Inquiry into the Nature and Method of History”

Its purpose is to show history students all the complexity, arguments, lies, extrapolations, and biases that arise from just a single event. With the idea that, to be a good historian, you have to be able to separate the wheat from the chaff.
