The "Battle" of Lexington leaves eight men dead and ten wounded, most whose names and stories have faded. From the Lexington Common I tell you why so few minutes made all the difference.
Thank you. I feel like Davis is one of the most honorable characters in this history. A profound servant of his community and family. It's a pity we did not get to learn more about his character had he survived to go on in service. I have been reading about the life his widow led after him, also a very strong woman who advocated for his memory (and for her survivor benefits, which were definitely due her even though she didn't receive them all).
Enjoyed your piece on Isaac Davis. I am one of his descendants and thought you did a great job. Keep up the history.
