Concord, North Bridge, Massachusetts
Concord is a town in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, in the United States.
The Battle of Lexington and Concord was the initial conflict in the American Revolutionary War. On April 19, 1775, a force of British Army regulars marched from Boston to Concord to capture a cache of arms that was reportedly stored in the town. Forewarned by Paul Revere and other messengers, the colonists mustered in opposition. Following an early-morning skirmish at Lexington, where the first shots of the battle were fired, the British expedition under the command of Lt. Col. Francis Smith advanced to Concord. There, colonists from Concord and surrounding towns (notably a highly drilled company from Acton led by Isaac Davis) repulsed a British detachment at the Old North Bridge and forced the British troops to retreat. Subsequently, militia arriving from across the region harried the British troops on their return to Boston, culminating in the Siege of Boston and outbreak of the war.
Concord has a remarkably rich literary history centered in the mid-nineteenth century around Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882), who moved to the town in 1835 and quickly became its most prominent citizen. Emerson, a successful lecturer and philosopher, had deep roots in the town: his father Rev. William Emerson (1769–1811) grew up in Concord before becoming an eminent Boston minister, and his grandfather, William Emerson Sr., witnessed the battle at the North Bridge from his house, and later became a chaplain in the Continental Army. Emerson was at the center of a group of like-minded Transcendentalists living in Concord.
Concord è un comune degli Stati Uniti d'America facente parte della contea di Middlesex nello stato del Massachusetts. Nonostante sia una piccola città ha rivestito un ruolo importante nella storia e nella letteratura americana.
In ambito storico la città divenne famosa per essere stata teatro della prima vera battaglia della guerra d'indipendenza, la battaglia di Lexington e Concord. Le truppe inglesi, di ritorno da un'operazione di polizia nella città, caddero in un'imboscata sul North Bridge (ponte sopra il fiume Concord) e dovettero ritirarsi subendo pesanti perdite.
Per quanto riguarda la letteratura Concord fu residenza per molti trascendalisti, in particolare Nathaniel Hawthorne e Henry David Thoreau. Qui vissero Ralph Waldo Emerson, famoso filosofo e poeta, e Louisa May Alcott, l'autrice di Piccole donne. Qui è inoltre nato l'attore Steve Carell.

More Info:
Concord (/ˈkɒŋkərd/) is a town in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, in the United States. At the 2010 census, the town population was 17,668. The United States Census Bureau considers Concord part of Greater Boston. The town center is located near where the confluence of the Sudbury and Assabet rivers forms the Concord River.
The area that became the town of Concord was originally known as Musketaquid, an Algonquian word for grassy plain. Concord was established in 1635 by a handful of British settlers; by 1775, the population had grown to 1,400.[2] As dissension between colonists in North America and the British crown intensified, 700 troops were sent to confiscate militia ordnance stored at Concord on April 19, 1775. The ensuing conflict, the Battle of Lexington and Concord, was the final inciting incident (the shot heard round the world) that triggered the American Revolutionary War.
A rich literary community developed in Concord during the mid-nineteenth century, centered around Ralph Waldo Emerson. Emerson's circle included Nathaniel Hawthorne, Louisa May Alcott and Henry David Thoreau. Major works written in Concord during this period include Alcott's novel Little Women, Emerson's essay Self-Reliance, and Thoreau's Walden and Civil Disobedience. In this era, the now-ubiquitous Concord grape was developed in Concord by Ephraim Wales Bull.
In the 20th century, Concord developed into an affluent Boston suburb and tourist destination, drawing visitors to the Old North Bridge, Orchard House and Walden Pond. The town retains its literary culture and is home to notable authors including Doris Kearns Goodwin, Alan Lightman and Gregory Maguire. Concord is also notable for its progressive and environmentalist politics, becoming in 2012 the first community in the United States to ban single-serving PET bottles.

Colonel James Barrett Farm House Concord MA by BK Bazhe

Columbia, More Info:
The Col. James Barrett Farm (Barrett's Farm) is a historic farm at
448 Barrett's Mill Road in Concord, Massachusetts.
James Barrett was Colonel of the Concord, Massachusetts Militia
during the Battles of Lexington and Concord that began the American Revolutionary War.
His farm was the storage site of all the town of Concord's Militia gunpowder,
weapons and two pairs of prized bronze cannons, according to secret
British intelligence.
On the morning of April 19, 1775, the British Regulars were ordered by
General Thomas Gage to march from Boston to the town of Concord,
about 20 miles inland, and seize the cannon and raid the arsenal at the provincial farm.
The British met resistance at both Lexington, Massachusetts and Concord.
Before the British arrived and searched, the stores had been concealed in a
field nearby, and the British never found them.

North Bridge and Minuteman Statue at Concord Battlefield, Concord, MA
Site of the Shot Heard 'Round the World and the Minuteman Statue sculpted by Daniel Chester french. The base is inscribed with the lines of Emerson's poem, from which this incident draws its name. Mom attempted to read the inscription but it may not be audible.
French was inspired to create the statue by the story of Capt. Isaac Davis, a Minuteman from Acton who became the first American officer killed in the Revolutionary War. Davis was a farmer and gunsmith, a thirty-year-old father of four. This battle came at a particularly bad time for Capt.and Mrs. Davis, as all four of their kids had come down with canker rash, what is now called Scarlet Fever. Hannah Davis had an eerie premonition that she would never see her husband again and she was right. Davis' group of Minutemen were placed in the vanguard at Concord and saw the worst fighting because they were equipped with bayonets, unlike the other units.
Also, a chance encounter with a Redcoat Major who shared some information with me. He is a Major of the Royal Engineers (not like John Pitcairn, who was a Major of the Royal Marines). A major in those days was still required to carry his own musket, so he wore only one epaulette on the right shoulder and carried his gun on the left. The epaulette is made with gold thread so easily ruined by the weight and constant rubbing of a gun. The gold medallion at his throat is a gorget (gor-zhay) worn as a badge of rank by officers on both sides.
Some of the interview was inaudible so I have summed it up here, although the process of loading a musket and attaching the bayonet can be discerned from the video. He carries a fusil, which is a scaled down version of a Brown Bess (9 lbs v. 14 lbs). However, a fusil still carries a wicked-looking bayonet that means business!
Major John Pitcairn did not die at Concord, but did die two months later at Bunker Hill, falling into the arms of his distraught son. Major Pitcairn lost a pair of Scottish-design ball-trigger pistols at Concord, which came into the possession of Israel Putnam, later a Continental General. Putnam carried the pistols throughout the war.
