Patriot's Day 2012-A Skirmish on the Lexington Green
This year the Battle on the Lexington Green was a little different for us.
First, it is the first year we were able to capture the sight and sounds with VIDEO. Unfortunately, this was our first attempt at a real Video, so it is pretty crude. Nonetheless, I think you will enjoy it.
Second, we wanted to capture the Minuteman on the man on the horse (Paul Revere?) who warned that the British were coming at approximately. And at approximately 6AM they did arrive looking haughty and in some case tired from marching through the night from Boston. They did not expect the resistance that would be confronting them only minutes away.
Unfortunately, although we captured the Horse and the Red Coats, we were unable to get to our normal viewing area that permits a fairly unobstructed view of the battle. That will be left for next year.
In the meantime, I think you will get a flavor of the event. Perhaps some of you will be motivated to get up early next year and join us.
