The book, "Tales of the Battle Road April 19, 1775" by Donald L. Hafner, is available for $5.00 on the Lincoln Historical Society's "publications" page.  Mr. Hafner is the President of the Lincoln Historical Society.

While the book is cheaper on Amazon, the purchase supports the LHS.  It is 73 pages in length.  Here is the link to the main page:

Be aware that the link to purchase that specific book directed me to a different publication by the LHS, but I received a message from Mr. Hafner today that they were working to fix the link.  Hopefully, it will be corrected soon.

There are other books available for purchase by LHS that touch on April 19, 1775, but one in particular that may contain some stories that would make for DOM's is "Embattled Farmers: Campaigns and Profiles of Revolutionary Soldiers from Lincoln, Massachusetts, 1775-1783" by Richard C. Wiggin.  The paperback is $30.00 and the hardback is $45.00 on the LHS website.

That book is NOT cheaper on Amazon with used hardbacks going for $249.98 or more and used paperbacks at $36.00 or more.  That book is 592 pages in length.

The description of the "Embattled Farmers" book reads in part:

Meticulously researched, Embattled Farmers traces the footsteps of 252 individual menâ€"all connected with the same communityâ€"who served as Patriot soldiers. Through repeated enlistments, they served at Lexington and Concord, at the Siege of Boston, and during the campaigns to Ticonderoga, Canada, New York, Saratoga, the Hudson Valley, The Jerseys, Valley Forge, and Yorktown.

Sounds good. That's the kind of stories I like. Stories from individuals and not high level overviews. Gonna order this one.

Do you have the correct link to order?

I just checked a moment ago (6/29/2023) and the link is still misdirected.

I will PM you with an e-mail address.
