Walk with me on the same road that the American minutemen took on April 19, 1775, on their march to the Old North Bridge in Concord, Massachusetts. At the North Bridge, the Americans confronted the British troops guarding the bridge and some of the very first shots of the American Revolution were fired, and helped to kick off the Battles of Lexington and Concord. Here at North Bridge, American troops were ordered to fire on the British for the first time in history, and the the first American officer to die in the American Revolution, Capt. Isaac Davis of Acton, fell in the brief engagement at the bridge.
