3 Key Sites at Old North Bridge on April 19, 1775 💥 THEN and NOW!  

Love all maps, too!

Nice. I'm guessing the man down (holding a sword?) on the Patriot's side of the North Bridge is supposed to represent Acton's Isaac Davis, one of the first to fall.

I hope that you come across this comment and can reply. I have done a lot of research on Militia, as it is a key element of "the Laws of the Union", and who exactly the Constitution commands are the authority to enforce our laws. You do, what appears to be, a tremendous amount of research. I spent months trying to find Militia statutes in NJ before I moved. No one seemed to know where they could be found, including the state Law Library. The people at the Law Library, you think they would know, directed me to some historic book stores. Even more perplexing is the fact that those statutes are still in force. I have tried to find them through FOIA requests, but I was denied in what was essentially a refusal stating that we're not going to do anything that we can claim we don't have to do. In fact, if you read many state statutes you will find that the state's governor must write the regulations for calling forth the militia. I received outright denials from two governors So, the question is, have you ever come across those statutes, and where did you find them? An example would look like this, taken from Virginia; •[1727, 1732, 1734, 1738, 1740, 1744, 1748, and 1753] “[U]pon any invasion of an enemy by sea or land, or upon any insurrection, the governor * * * have full power and authority to levy, raise, arm, and muster, such a number of forces, out of the militia * * * as shall be thought needful for repelling the invasion, or suppressing the insurrection, or other danger[.] (The wording notes that the Militia already exists, and if you read modern statutes, they are similar in wording.)

Sounds like Lynn or Revere.

Not to mention that Katie is very easy on the eyes as well!

Concawd!!

Makes me miss living in New Haempshear.

I know! I wish my history teachers were this.....interesting :)

@@PhilipLongee-vw8jf Hey- That's Cahng-kid ta you, bud!

And before the colonists began settling the area in the mid 17th century, the area was a primordial old growth forest. The massive white oak trees were used for structural timbers of houses that stand to this day.

Just discovered your channel today. Have only visited the area twice in my life , (from CA). Just love your enthusiasm, knowledge, ....... and that accent!

The present bridge is in the same location as the bridge of 1775.

And it still echoes to this day.

Apparently not so much anymore, when you see how enthralled the masses are in this republic, with anything “royal family”. 😖

@@keithrayeski6417 Way to step on a line, kid.

Maybe the worst state to be in when studying the American Revolution. haha

Your accent helps the videos tremendously! , sounds like my Auntie & cousin so much, my mom lost her accent maybe because she moved to CT & my Auntie stayed in Mass.... keep up the good work Kate😊

It is pre-revolutionary war, but there is a good RU-vid documentary on the Siege of Fort William Henry in that area.

Like Charlie, Dame, & Waynos!

Makes one kinda wish they got trenchfoot.
