Found this pretty nice map of Battle Road that lists most of the towns and actions along the way. If you are visual like me, this can help you tell the story.
I have attempted to have it blown up but past a certain point it pixilates fairly badly.
Fred asked that I post it so here you go! Enjoy!

Now that's cool!
I was not able to get a good download of Greg's particular jpg.
However in doing some searching, I found a battle map in jpeg format in Wikipedia.

WIKI also has a very detailed writeup of Lexington and Concord.

The maps really work wonders for pulling all the detail from Fischer's book into perspective.
Your Historian has always been nuts about History, (Whaddya think? That a History major would NOT?) But I find myself taking my passion to a much higher level since I've found Appleseed.
Thanks, Fred!

FB,
JB had a terrific battlemap at Davilla 11-0-8.
I'm developing one to help in presentations.
Thanks for the Post.

Definitely cool! The place and the day a shot was heard around the world. Sadly, I wonder how many would or are even prepared to follow in the minute men's foot steps now "when" the new "red coats" come for our supplies? :( &) A very interesting post and great reminder of our history and how it repeats itself.
