The Bancroft Prize-winning classic of American history now in a revised and expanded edition with a new preface and afterword by the author.On April 19, 1775, the American Revolution began at the Old North Bridge in Concord, Massachusetts. The "shot heard round the world" catapulted this sleepy New England town into the height of revolutionary fervor, and Concord went on to become the intellectual capital of the new republic. The town-future home to Emerson, Thoreau, and Hawthorne-soon came to symbolize devotion to liberty, intellectual freedom, and the stubborn integrity of rural life.In The Minutemen and Their World, Robert A. Gross has written a remarkably subtle and detailed reconstruction of the lives and community of this special place, and a compelling interpretation of the American Revolution as a social movement.
