Ok, sorry, but have to make an aside...
No way average citizens in the back country would have bayonets.
Washington had enough trouble getting bayonets for the official established armies.
I did not find any reference to bayonets in the original post. I also live (much) less than an hour from Concord Bridge. It should be noted that the Acton Minutemen lead the charge at Concord Bridge. The first man to die was the captain of the Acton Minutemen, Isaac Davis. Davis was a blacksmith, and all of the Acton Minutemen were well-drilled and equipped with bayonets.
It is for this reason that the Acton Minutemen may have been selected to lead the charge. The plow depicted in the Minuteman statue is Isaac Davis’s, his great nephew, said to be his spitting image, was the model for the Minuteman. The plow, and Isaac Davis’s bloody shirt are on exhibit at Acton Town hall during normal business hours.
