I have never heard anyone around here refer to Concord as Greater Boston, but I suppose it is how someone defines it.
It is pretty impressive that he rode that distance in the dark on that horse, and it is easy to imagine the misery of the British as they tried to retreat back to Boston with the Colonials picking at them every step of the way.
Its funny, when I was in college everyone would tell you they were from Boston. There were people from Framingham who would tell you they were from “right outside” of Boston.
It got to be a joke.
Just shows my general ignorance as a Canadian who has never been East, except to Florida.
I love the fact that the Patriots started knocking off officers from their horses using snipers. Must have been the fear of God into the Brits.
