Battle Green - Lexington & Concord April 19, 1775  

The reenactments are awesome at Lexington. Every child should be taught the names of the eight who died that morning and that are buried under the oldest war memorial in the USA on the Green. Awesome video Katie.

Thank you, Katie, you're wonderful.

I was a young boy and I might from Medford to Concord passing through Lexington in a five and drum corps leading 2000 Boy Scouts. I returned again in 1985 with the same fife and drum corps. I participated in the entire American bicentennial in barbers New Jersey light infantry the 23rd royal welsh future leaders. Very fond memories. Love this channel. Thank you for everything Peter Ellerman.

Great video! They do not teach kids in school enough about the revolutionary war and how incredible it was that the patriots were able to defeat the worlds super power of that time. Would love to visit this historic place one day.

The Minutemen by Gen. John Galvin mentions the "shot" that started the fight on Lexington Green was an accidental discharge by a British officer's pistol. Excellent book covering Lexington/Concord and the retreat to Boston.

2:04 I like how Capt. Parker determined they would not attack unless they were "harmed or insulted" first. You mean like they called them bad names or made disparaging remarks about their mothers? "So Capt. Parker why did you attack superior British forces this morning?" "They made fun of my hat, sir." "Oh, in that case, well done, Captain, well done!"

Thank you Katie!

Assigned to Hanscom AFB in the 90's and am enjoying your collection and the revisits to the sites. I have been to Lexington Green during the annual re-enactment. The things that jumped out to me were... 1. The early morning sun glinting off of the Redcoat bayonets and the obvious lack on the Minuteman side. 2. The tension building over 10 minutes as you could hear the Redcoat drums approaching. 3. The realization that over 50 riders brought out THOUSANDS of militiamen within 100 miles - all able to engage the Redcoats on their return trip to Boston - these were pissed-off people. BTW - thanks for the Boston accent - I don't hear it out here in Colorado and it brings a smile to me

My wife and i were at Lexington and Concord last April 19. The reenactment was great. We want to be there in 2025. Love your show. I like your show and am a subscriber ❤🎉😊

This was terrific. I once visited Lexington but couldn't get a sense of the battle. Katie has solved that here.

Thank you, Katie, for making this and preserving our History. Would God the public schools showed this instead of indoctrination.

I'm really enjoying this video series! Very well done! Thanks!!

Great presentation! Thank you!

Coffee with Katie😊

Great job with the video. Your enthusiasm for history is awesome. Thank you so much for bringing history alive again. With everything going on in the world right now, remembering history is more important than ever. 👍

The Hancock-Clark House in Lexington, Massachusetts,50 years ago, the Massachusetts State Society Daughters of the American Revolution created a replica of the room. Mrs. Getty would you visit it and show it on a video if you can?

I have been to Lexington/Concord three times and I can hardly wait to go again. It is my favorite place. I was fortunate enough to participate in an April 19th reenactment years ago.

Work took me to Fall River in 1983 and I made the trip to Lexington, Concord and the Old North Bridge. There was a re-enactor at the bridge in British military uniform standing guard over the gravesite of two slain British soldiers. Pretty remarkable to see. So glad I took the time.

Amazing video. My family fought down south. Kings Mountain , Ramsour Mill.

Riveting description of how these fellows stood - like those who stood at Samar - in the certainty of facing .53 cal Brown Bess slugs and cold steel. Because, the follow-up after the first volley had to be the bayoneting of the wounded and the dazed survivors…

My family and I did Battle Road a couple years ago. I'm not ashamed to say I teared up reading the monument there about the fallen and the moving of their graves. Would you be willing to do a videonof that monument and read the inscription for everyone who may not be able to get the chance to see it themselves. It's a beautiful tribute.

Great video Katie!

Love your videos I always learn something new.

Nice work, Katie! I wonder if you could relate some of the personal stories of that impactful day. I'm thinking of whe Paul Revere alerted Sam Adams and that hot-headed John Hancock at the Jonas Parker residence. Also how Revere and John Lowell rescued a certain trunk... What curious coincidence happened when Major Mitchell was interrogating a certain rider earlier that morning? Btw, I love your accent ( I'm in the midwest, so I really enjoy your proper pronounciations)

Been to Lexington Green. I believe that it was only 7 men died on the Green. One, whose name I forget, was able to make his way back to his home and died on the doorstep.

Great video, thanks! And yes, I would love to see a longer tour around the Green. I visited there twice, the second time being the year before covid struck, but haven't been back since. Thanks for this reminder that I need to get back down there. Cheers!

Great video Katie! I’ve gotten up at 3 in the morning a few times to go see the reenactment on the Green at the break of dawn.

Always interesting

love just revolution shows,such an awesome time in our history. Great videos

Sarah Palin had it right! Paul Revere rode out to "warn the British"! LOL!

Thank you for your series on the revolution. I can't wait to see if you have a new piece out. I check daily. Thanks again. Corky Lucey of Easthampton Mass.

Thank you for taking the time in describing what occurred 04-19-1775.

Love your channel. Im happy i found it. Although I'm a 4th generation Californian. My ancestors had strong roots in New England. Involved in much of its early history. So I finally made it out there. Went to the mayflower where I had an ancestor and made to Lexington and concord. Sadly, it was too short of a visit. I hope to go back and spend a couple of weeks in Lexington concord and the general area. My wife is a Saint for put up with me. I love that stuff.

Loved this thank you for sharing

Thank you, Katie. Please keep your history lessons coming. When you decide to discuss this, I would like to get your perspective on the circumstances that helped Washington evacuate Long Island. If you don't address this, I still love your lessons.

I’ve been a few times to the green now but didn’t know it was known in so much detail where they stood and fought with each other, great video! It’s on my list to go back and visit the Old Belfry another time!

From one history lover to another, excellent work! I've been to the Boston area many times but because I was working I never had the chance to visit any of the Revolutionary War sites. You have given me inspiration to get back there and see them. Thank you for the great work, keep the videos coming!

Another nice job. I would like a slower walk with more detail on the area. You mentioned the death of John Pitcairn. The name sounded familiar, so I had to look him up. Pitcairn Island is named after his son. Pitcairn is the island on which the HMS Bounty mutineers would later settle. Wikipedia has a short paragraph about him in their article on Pitcairn Island (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitcairn_Islands).

I was just visiting the Green on 5 July 24.

Great video. Would love a slower walk-around. Have visited your area only very briefly, but my area is not too shabby...Washington Crossing, Philadelphia.

Thank you for the videos. I love history and taking the family to Boston in June and very excited to visit Lexington/Concord!

I've been to Lexington a few times and Concord once. Munroes Tavern was a spot I really enjoyed as well. British took it on their way into Lexington

Very interesting. I’m learning more about this. I read an account of Lexington written by Nathaniel Parkhurst. I believe him to be a brother to one of my forefathers. I want to get there and see things for myself.

Like the videos. Please keep making them. I am from Virginia and visited the Boston area, including Lexington and Concord. I have a picture of my six month old son sitting on the Boulder with the marker. I am a big fan of Paul Revere and the alarm riders. Videos about them and the Old North Church would be great. Thanks again.

Unfortunately, I have never been to any revolutionary war sites in your area. I have gone to Valley Forge and enjoyed that.

I enjoyed your commentary. I have been to the green. You have picked a great subject and your video is interesting thanks.

Thank you for posting.

Great video, thank you.

I recall my mom calling an illness, "the grip" is that the same as TB? This area is a must for my bucket list.

Thank you Katie, I love learning about the Revolutionary War and the different battles. I definitely want to visit these sites one day.

If you have more info on Col James Lee Barrett. would be great just found out he was my Grandfather .

Great clip and intro to the battle. I found this battle reenactment clip detailing things that you mentioned, landmarks that are in your clip, etc. It's in real time so you may have to drag the playhead to get to the battle scenes: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OwHHZyauKns.html have fun.

Nice

You make history fun again… Thank you!!!

Been there came from the uk
