Actually, the colonists lost the fight at Lexington, then won the battle at Concord Bridge. The Brits attempted to retreat to Boston and got ambushed the whole way.

However, I think it’s important to note that, with the probable exception of King’s Mountain, I’m not aware of any battles won by Americans using purely individual and guerilla tactics.

Thank you for the correction. I switched Lexington and Concord.
