A very informative book that sets aside some of mythology surounding the start of the revolution. A detailed history of Concord Massachusetts at the time of the revolution. If your a buff you need to read this book.

This book was great. I am very interested in this time period an this book was very informative about the everyday life of these people. Actually much of what is happening today was happening right before the Revolutionary war. History does indeed repeat its self. If you enjoy history you will enjoy this book.
Not expecting a rascal (PBS comrade) would order this, I listed it along with a stack of other books, and thus didn't have time to read as much as I would have wished. He does an especially good job in economic analysis of that distant time. The Minute Men were young and did not hold much property, so he looks to their parents' holdings for his evaluation of their 'world.'
