LUNCH WITH BOOKS LIVESTREAM: The Battles of Lexington and Concord

September 08, 2020
12:00pm - 1:00pm

LUNCH WITH BOOKS LIVESTREAM: The Battles of Lexington and Concord

On April 19, 1775, the famous "shot heard 'round the world" was fired in the Massachusetts town of Concord. With that musket discharge, the next eight years would engulf the thirteen North American colonies in a war of independence against Great Britain. What truly inspired that day, the facts that accepted myths have built upon from, show how remarkable the road to revolution that ended at the North Bridge in Concord was. Join historian Phillip S. Greenwalt as he discusses his book, co-authored with Rob Orrison, A Single Blow, The Battles of Lexington and Concord and the Beginning of the American Revolution.

This program will be available to watch live on our Facebook page, our YouTube channel, and on the OCPL website's LWB Livestream page.
