Every Now and Then We Engage in a Little Shameless Promotion

Well, it’s finally here . . . After several months of rewrites and research “We Stood Our Ground” has been published as an ebook! Historical Nerdery's Alexander Cain rewrote the book to reflect the recent discovery of countless new historical documents, town records and historical artifacts.

We Stood Our Ground explains Lexington's shift from a passive to a radical town in the 1760s and early 1770s. It not only examines Lexington's religious, economic, social and geographical settings on the eve of the American Revolution, but also describes its citizens' reactions to the Stamp Act crisis, the Townshend duties and the Intolerable Acts. Lexington's war efforts prior to the Battle of Lexington are also carefully scrutinized.

For the first time the April 19th civilian evacuation of Lexington and the roles of Loyalists at the Battle of Lexington are covered. Likewise. Captain Parker's ambush of retreating British regulars is also reexamined based upon the archaeological surveys conducted at the original battle site.

Because of the support and encouragement Historical Nerdery has received from our fellow history nerds and friends, the ebook is available for FREE and can be downloaded here.
