Found another good one: Lexington and Concord: The Battle Heard Round the World by George c. Daughan.
https://www.amazon.com/Lexington-Concord-Battle-Heard-Round/dp/0393245748?hvadid=78202819156976&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvqmt=e&keywords=lexington+and+concord&qid=1539041762&s=Books&sr=1-1&tag=mh0b-20&ref=sr_1_1

A great telling of our story with impressive detail.  Newly released in April of this year.  Very Readable and enjoyable.

Rifleman patch, March 16, 2014.  Accepted an ORANGE hat on Sunday, 20 April, in Roswell NM. Now I start "Baby Steps."
Earned Red Hat, May 21, 2017.  Earned Shoot Boss, November 4, 2018!  Look out, Alamogordo, N.M. here comes Appleseed, again!

... to catch the fire in another American for sharing the skills and our heritage to our posterity. Maybe my perfect shots will be made by those I met along the trials and trails of Appleseed. I know that America is a nation of Riflemen.
