Battle of Lexington

Painting depicting the Battle of Lexington, after initial skirmishes between British soldiers and American colonists that marked the beginning of the American Revolution. En route from Boston to seize the colonists military stores at Concord, Mass. the British force of 700 was met at Lexington by 77 local minutemen (see minuteman) alerted by Paul Revere and others. Which side fired the first shot is unclear, and resistance soon ended. The British moved on to nearby Concord, where they were met by more than 300 American patriots and were forced to withdraw. On their march back to Boston, they were continually harried by colonists firing from behind barns, trees, and roadside walls. Deaths totaled 273 British and 95 Americans. Lexington, Massachusetts, USA, 17 April 1775. (Photo by Fotosearch/Getty Images)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the historic Battle of Lexington, a pivotal moment that ignited the flames of the American Revolution. The painting vividly depicts the intense clash between British soldiers and American colonists, marking an iconic turning point in history. As tensions escalated, a British force of 700 troops embarked on a mission to seize military supplies from Concord, Massachusetts. However, their plans were met with fierce resistance when they encountered 77 local minutemen at Lexington. Alerted by Paul Revere and other patriots, these brave men stood their ground against overwhelming odds. The exact originator of the first shot remains shrouded in uncertainty; nevertheless, this event sparked a chain reaction that would forever alter the course of history. Despite valiant efforts by both sides during initial skirmishes at Lexington and subsequent confrontations at Concord, it was ultimately clear that victory belonged to those fighting for freedom. The British forces faced relentless opposition as they retreated back to Boston. Colonists relentlessly pursued them from behind barns, trees, and roadside walls - exemplifying unwavering determination in their fight for independence. Tragically, this battle came at great cost. The toll amounted to 273 British lives lost alongside 95 American patriots who made the ultimate sacrifice for liberty's cause. This powerful image serves as a poignant reminder of our nation's birth pains and honors those who bravely fought on April 17th, 1775 – forever etching Lexington into America's collective memory.
