Wow. That killing of him by the British was not meant to be. Bayoneted six times, and nothing critical severed?
Wow.
He was indeed “one tough old bird”.

I live near there where this happened, and the area is rich in history.
I was in a museum in Concord last year, and...right there, they had one of the original lamps that was used in The Old North Church in Boston to signal the Patriots!
Just looking at it filled me with awe.
