tep back to the early hours of April 19, 1775, when tensions between colonial Minutemen and British troops erupted into armed conflict in Lexington and Concord. In this fascinating presentation, Dr. Coan will use his extensive knowledge and compelling storytelling to illuminate how these initial skirmishes catalyzed the American Revolution.
