S03E08: Lexington and Concord - a podcast by Brady J. Crytzer

In the Spring of 1775 the British General Thomas Gage set
his sights on the countryside of Massachusetts. After receiving permission from
England to use force against rebel Americans if necessary, the British designed
a harrowing mission to capture and confiscate a cache of illegal patriot
firearms stored in the tiny village of Concord. While the British prepared
their march, rebel leadership fled for their lives and a Patriot leader named
Paul Revere spread his message straight into history. At the end of the day the
American rebellion had taken a bloody turn as they and their imperial masters
clashed in not one, but two terrible battles. On this episode we discuss the
battles of Lexington and Concord.
