If you are not familiar with Alexander Cain, I recommend his two (2) books: "I See Nothing But the Horrors of a Civil War" and "We Stood Our Ground," as well as numerous links, articles, and videos of him speaking online. Mr. Cain has a website, Historical Nerdery, that has many interesting articles:

The following is a link to an address to the American Revolutionary Institute regarding Lexington and Concord from May of 2025. From the description of the address:
QuotePanelists include historians J.L. Bell discussing the prelude of the two events of April 19, 1775; Alexander Cain highlighting the engagements through the perspectives of the battles' participants and civilian eyewitnesses; and Jarrad Fuoss of Minute Man National Historical Park exploring recent archaeological studies and findings and how they have impacted or enhanced the interpretation of the battles.
All 3 of the speakers are great, but I really appreciate Mr. Cain's presentation which brings an aspect reflecting the effect on the local people along Battle Road.
Included in the video are mentions of the research conducted by Joel Bohy and Douglas Scott, authors of the book "Bullet Strikes From the First Day of the American Revolution," another book I highly recommend.

Mr. Cain gave the lecture at Lexington during the Emerging Revolution Battle Road tour I took in October 2024. He was personally accessible, extremely knowledgeable, addressed questions easily and completely, and brought a great perspective on the average citizens who lived along Battle Road and endured the horrors of that day.
If you have a chance to hear him speak personally, I urge you to not miss the opportunity. It will help with your depth of knowledge when presenting the Three Strikes.
