Boston Seminar: Day 4

  |  

John Bell teaches us about the fighting at Lexington on April 19, 1775

Day 4 focused on Lexington and Concord and we were honored to have John Bell of Boston 1775 blog as our tour guide. John walked us through the April 1775 battle and debunked some cherished myths. His tour was outstanding. Bell is the author of The Road to Concord: How Four Stolen Cannon Ignited the Revolutionary War. The teachers bought every copy of Bell’s book at the Concord gift shop at Minute Man National Historical Park and he was gracious enough to sign their copies.

Some pics from the last couple of days:
