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.

Agreed. They actually made you respect the British guy who initially used the headstones as a base to bring cannon over...I KNEW they were trying to set you up that way, but even still...

Out here, you can walk the route taken by the British out and back. There is a house that still has a musket ball shot hole in it. There are graves of British soldiers.

You can easily imagine the panic in the retreat.
