Settle in as we chit-chat about history and discuss the furthest reaches of the Lexington Alarm of April 19, 1775, and the response of the Essex County militia particularly the Danvers companies.
I'll also share some updates, including recent filming struggles, AND tell you a cool story about a historic house I unexpectedly fell across in my travels!

I’m from the central part of MA where King Phillip’s War was. The town of Hardwick had many participants in the Revolution. My mother’s friend lived in a house belonging to a Continental Army General the British came out from Boston to capture. They found a hiding place with many silhouettes, a musket and pewter tea pots, one with a hole in it to make a musket ball. The place blows me away.

When you said "take a right at the old blue house" I knew you had to be talking about the Flint house. I love it.

@stevekulbacki5238 2 месяца назад

Thanks for your efforts to bring us Revolutionary War history. I live in rural NH and love your Boston accent. Reminds me of a good friend I served with in the Marine Corps.

The content, on scene segments, and accent are all on point! Please keep going!

I'm fascinated by the accents of the time - Hollywood often uses a 'standard' US accent (I know there isn't really such a thing) but the 2008 miniseries 'John Adams' had a fantastic depiction - possibly the most historically accurate, I think. I guess a lot of Americans brought-up on Hollywood would have been surprised by the variety of accents: from those of the oldest, settler families, to the more recent arrivals in the Colonies. Your 'marched' at 4:24 is a lovely example of a historical link - many British accents have the same extension, so there's a hybrid Colonial/US/British accent used in the area still! Don't get me started on the North Carolina accent which sounds like West Country Elizabethan - that's mind-blowing!

OH, hello. Really Katie, I didn’t enter your home. But, I’m glad it was you coming through the door. I am looking forward to today’s history lesson.

@seanbleahy 4 месяца назад

Katie you are awesome! Great channel all in all. I only wish there were more Bostonians such as yourself who really cares about our humble origins and keeping the flames of true liberty alive for this nation and it’s posterity. Keep up the great work. Don’t forget there’s plenty of revolutionary history in my neck of the woods that is western mass. 😊

Oh my gosh, I know what you feel about the history being woven into everyday life around us. I live in California. Our history as Spain, is all around me. Knowing that history colors my world. I hope your friends are more excited than mine to have that shared. LOL

I just found you channel and think it great . I have been a historic reenactor for the last 35 years and have been doing rev war for a few years now .I know what you mean about finding the history in every day travails I live in south eastern Mass. and I m surrounded by early American history . Thank you for your work

Hey there Katie, I love your videos. I am an American history nerd. I am always curious about the revolution. So glad I came across your channel. I love watching your videos as I start my day with my coffee. I grew up back there, the history is in my soul. Keep going, you’re doing great!!!

Goosebumps, I had this when I was in Bath England and suddenly found myself in front of a house at Sydney Place and read the plaque and found out that Jane Austen had lived there and I only knew of some other places she lived, but not this one. Or that time I was in Trinity church and suddenly I stood in front of a bust of Alexander Hamilton I didn’t know was there. Took my breath away.

@jimflammer9370 5 месяцев назад

Boston is a place where history surrounds you, I fished out of Boston years ago, I tied up across the channel from Griffin's wharf the sight of the Boston Tea Party, every morning I thought about that event. On my way out heading east to fish I would turn around and see the Boston skyline in the early morning sunlight including the Custom House Tower and the spire of Old North Church where Paul Revere saw the lights in the belfry. A truly wonderful city with much history to see everyday. Love your channel and your Boston accent, makes me homesick for New England.

I just found your channel and am enjoying it so goat. I hope you’re able to record more adventures up here on the North Shore. Leslie’s Retreat, the Hannah/Nautulus battle, the privateers that sailed out of Salem and Beverly, General Glover’s farmhouse in Marblehead which is in grave danger of being torn down, and probably more I don’t know about.

@slayer8actual 5 месяцев назад

it must be pretty cool to live in an area where you have historical landmarks, buildings, monuments and battlefields around every corner. It was like that when I lived in Germany long ago. The landmarks were either because of WWII or they were castles, churches or homes from hundreds of years ago. It seemed like we never ran out of places to visit, and some we just bumped into not knowing they were even there. One time I was visiting a man who was going to print some of my artwork, and he asked me to come to his workshop to select some materials. His house looked completely normal from the street and as we went inside he told me his workshop was in the basement. As we went down an old stone staircase to his basement, I noticed the walls were also stone and they went up to a arched stone ceiling the entire length and width of his shop. I asked him about the stone work and he told me his house was built on the remains of a house from the 14th century and he still used the basement and foundation. I thought that was incredibly cool and how something so old was still being used in a normal house all these centuries later. Are those houses in your area still used by regular occupants or are all of them museums, or for historical use only? I imagine if someone still resides in them, there would be a lot of rules set in place regarding the use, care and maintenance of those houses. It was the same for the man in Germany - even though he built a new house on top of the old ruins and used the basement, he was not allowed to make changes to it or even drive a nail in the stone walls because it was protected by national history and preservation laws. I live in the woods where nothing has happened.....ever in the history of Earth apparently. Rather boring.

what an amazing experience to be in front of the house where he actually stepped out the door and then later returned. on a separate note...the four gravesites say "In memory of"...so, if these are actual gravesites could it be that the stone for Captain Parker which also says "in memory of" be his actual gravesite?

The Belfry was moved up to Belfry Hill and that was the place we used to hang out and party at back in the day. The cops couldn't sneak up on us and they usually pulled into the parking lot of the church and we knew they were coming. Spent many hours up there and had many action adventures of different types. Same thing on the Green and over by the Visitor's Center (love the diorama). When I lived in east Lexington there was a flag hanging on the wall of my room that had been stolen from the flagpole on the Green. I didn't steal it; it was there when I moved in (shared a 2nd floor with a bunch of roommates) and I think the guy who stole it passed away years ago.

Love the sit down & chat format. Maybe you could do another one recommending books about the American Revolution. I'm currently reading Rick Atkinson's book "The British Are Coming". Looking for ideas about what book should come next.

My 4th ggf is the "soldier" (Caleb Haskell) who wrote the diary who the author quoted about the smallpox in the army around Quebec (he didn't cite him, though - I recognized the passage).

@billfilios2677 5 месяцев назад

You’re right when you say, “every day it’s just sort of woven in the the fabric or your existence here”. The house I grew up in Amherst, (the oldest part of the house at least) my parents understood to have been built sometime in the seventeen sixties. Of course it wasn’t the residence of anyone of note as far as I know. Still, Massachusetts & all of New England for that matter is full of nooks and crannies of early colonial history.

@LesHaskell 5 месяцев назад

My paternal line (Haskell) originally settled in Salem (the part now called Beverly) in 1635. Fourteen people in my family tree were hanged for witchcraft, including John Proctor, my 8th ggf, in 1692 (no Haskells, though, but there is a "Witchcraft" Mark - 1st cousin 9x removed - who moved to Rochester down in Plymouth Colony in 1692 to avoid jury duty in the trials - the story says he was a freethinker, which back then was as bad as being a witch or owing money to the Putnam family - his wife's uncle Jacob Goodale had been beaten to death by Giles Corey in 1675 - Mark is the ancestor of Colonel Elnathan Haskell who is pictured in Trumbull's painting "The Surrender of General Burgoyne" which is hanging in the US Capitol Rotunda - I don't think he was the aid to General Washington as they say - I think it was the American General Howe). I have distant cousins who were the wives of Reverend John Hale (his 2nd, Sarah Noyes, and 3rd Elizabeth Somerby are both 1st cousins about 11 times removed) and Reverend Cotton Mather. My 8th ggf's house is still standing in Gloucester and is a bed and breakfast (the William Haskell House) and my g-ggf and ggf are named George Whitefield after the Anglican evangelist and friend of Jonathan Parsons who is buried in the basement of the Old South Church in Newburyport. My great-great-grandfather George Whitefield Haskell served for 90 days in 1864 in the 3rd Unattached company, Massachusetts Volunteer Militia on Winter Island in Salem Harbor. My 6th ggf Captain Daniel Hale was killed when an artillery tube burst at the Capture of Louisbourg in 1745. I am a direct descendant of Anne Hutchinson, her son Captain William Hutchinson, Mary Dyer, and Captain John Underhill on my dad's side. On my mom's side all I've found is James Chilton (and his daughter Isaballa and her husband Roger Chandler). My 4th ggf Caleb from Newburyport was a Revolutionary soldier and his son married the daughter of a Loyalist. I feel steeped in Colonial history, but sadly I now live in Tennessee.

I was doing some geneology in Mansfield Connecticut. Lots of men from Mansfield responded to the Lexington Alarm. However my guess is they didn't get there until after the battle. It would make an interesting story as to how wide the alarm was sent and how many militia eventually responded. Also as I recall there may have been several Lexington Alarms so I am not sure which is which. However I was shocked that the alarm went out so far and wide. I enjoy watching your series. I grew up in Winchester and used to ride my bike to the Lexington Green (I used to take Johnson Road - it was pretty direct however I don't think it was built until the mid sixties) also used to ride down route 3 to where it intersected with Mass Ave. I remember a monument at that intersection about a skirmish between the returning British and the militia men at that intersection, but I never understood the full story of Menotomy until I saw your video. In fact although I heard the name, and probably drove by it many times I never really knew where it was. It's hard for me to imagine how hard it must be to go 20-30 miles at night from Danvers to Arlington in those days.

With an ancestry lineage to the Am Rev, I watch, with increased interest, your videos. I need a genealogist to help me further prove a more direct ancestor, from my mother. THE SAR will not accept the info that I have.

Hello, Katie! I discovered your channel a month ago. I like all the videos you've made so far. I went to some of the sites in and around Boston about six years ago. Went to Lexington and Concord also. I didn't fully explore these sites due to a lack of time. I plan to revisit these sites again at some point. Do you plan to do a video of the John Adams house in Quincy anytime soon?

According to Merriam-Webster, Æt is the abbreviation for the Latin adjective “aetatis” and means: “at the age of.” The above info is from a genealogy site. I was wondering the same thing!
