Can someone help me verify the accuracy of this list of casualties from April 19, 1775.  I took it from the Bloody Butchery poster given out at last years' April 19 Appleseeds.

Thanks.

Go here, http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=4991.0

go to the book it lists and go to page 156.  It lists the wounded and dead by town and by their names.
"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

—Jeff Cooper, The Art of the Rifle

Yes, I found it too, but list ought to be footnoted.  Other sources  vary widely.  For example:
.....New England Quarterly - a scholarly journal, lists various American and Brit casualty counts - American count ranges from 39-59.

.... John Ferling's history -  Almost a Miracle  cites 94 casualties.  You can reconcile Feerling and Fischer totals by noting that Ferling counts killed wounded and MIA to get 94 count.  Fischer's book 50 dead, 39 wounded, 5 MIA.

One note, I think the original handbill has typo errors - If you use Fischer as a reference, I'd rely on his spelling. ;)

If you'd like, I  can chase down the New England Quarterly journal thru Wright State University access to the electronic archives.  WSU is just out the back door from work.  O0
