The American Revolution, by Sir George Otto Trevelyan, Longmans, Green and Company, 1903:

The Minute Men by John R. Galvin, Brassey’s 1989 p.220-221.

Thanks for thse references.

BTW, I am the direct descendent of a Lexington Minuteman, John Gibson, who was there with his four sons. We tend toward red-heads, so we remain convinced that it was one of our hot-headed ancestors who "fired the shot heard round the world."

Nice thing to have in the family tree. Thank you and your ancestors for letting mine in about one hundred years later--ya didn't HAVE to, y'know.
