Men of the neighbOring counties, when
they turned out the morning of the
19th for the defense of Concord, not
of Lexington, all knew where Concord
was and the roads that led there, but it
IS doubtful if one in a dozen had ever
heard of Lexington, or at any rate
knew whether it lay to the north, east,
south or west of Concord.
One reason why the fight has be
come known as the Battle of Lexing-
ton is that the rolls of all the Minute
Men who turned out from other towns
are filed at the statehouse in Boston
and there docketed as the Lexington
Alarms Some years after the event
au appropriation was made to pay the
men who rushed to the defense of Con-
cord for their military service and
travel and the captains from all over
the province sent in their attested
muster rolls. Concord paid her own
soldiers and there is no record in the
statehouse of the men from this town
who served on that eventful day.

III col ullN, IJOAs the uluSlcI IOil
of Capt. Charles Miles company of
Concord Minute Men, engaged at the
North bridge, April 10, 1775, was sold
at auction in Boston for $275. This list
of men was the only complete list of
the Concord men in this particular en-
gagement, though the names of nearly
all of them appear in the towns rec
ords scattered through several pages
as they were paid by the town treas
Urer from time to time The names
however, are not so arranged as to
make it certain to what particular
company any individual soldier be
longed.
The origin of the expression Minute
Men is of interest Practically from
the beginning of the province there
had been militia composed of the
entire body of citizens with certain
exceptions such as clergymen and
paupers) This body of militia was
mustered ana paraded one or more
times each year under officers whose

commissions ran in the name of the
king and were signed by the royal gov
ernOr. Long before the outbreak of
hostilities in 1875, General Gage, the
royal governor of the province of
Massachusetts, had become suspicious
of this body and had as far as possible
prevented the assembling of the mill
tia and had discontinued the annual
musterings In some cases the com
missions of the militia officers were re-
voked, but for the most part they had
not been recalled. The throttling by
Governor Gage of the general court,
the constituted legislature of the
province led to the assembling in Con-
cord on the 18th of October, 1774, OF
a body of delegates chosen from the
several towns in the same manner as
the representatives to the general
court were chosen. This new body of
delegates called itself a provincial
congress and held three sessions; the
first of five days in October. the Sec
ond two weeks in the same month in
Cambridge and the third of nearly
Der, also at Cambridge. One of the
first proceedings of this body was to
take into consideration the disorgan-
lied condition of the militia and to
take measures to form new force.
Safeguarding Liberty.
One resolution provided for the ap-
pointment Of committee Of safety
who should ''have power and they are
| hereby directed whenever they shall
! Judge it necessary for the safety and

/ province and their property, to alarm.

place Of rendezvous, such and so many
of the militia as they shall judge nee
essary for the ends aforesaid, and at
such place or places as they shall
judge proper, and then to discharge
as soon as the safety of this province
shall permit"
Other resolutions provided for the
purchase of arms, ammunition. provi-
sions and all kinds of military stores.
and for their accumulation and care
at Concord and Worcester. The new
force was to be raised by voluntary en-
listment to the extent of one fourth of
the men of military age in the prov
ince. The committee that drew NJ
these resolutions for the congress
knew perfectly we'll that if there was
clash of arms it would be impera-
lively necessary to have a military
force upon which they could depend
a force of men who had taken up arms
Of their own volition, and With full
knowledge that such taking of arms
might. and almost certainly would
lead to open rebellion and treason
So by the process of voluntary enlist
ment in the new force, the congress
weeded ont the loyalists from the
ranks of the militia.

Of the enlistment paper which were as
follows:
II. We, whose names are hereunto
subscribed, will, to the utmost of our
power, defend his majesty, King
George the Third, his person, crown
and dignity
"2. We will at the same time, to the
utmost of our power and abilities, de-
fend all and every one our charter
rights, liberties and privileges, and
will hold ourselves in readiness at
minutes warning, with arms and am
munitior thus to do
49, We will at all times and in all
places obey our officers chosen by us,
and our superior officers, in ordering
and disciplining US, when and where
said officers shall think proper"
These terms of enlistment were
drawn up by a committee of the town
of Concord, and reported TO town
meeting, January 8, 1775, when the
town voted to pay each Minute Man"
at certain rate day for ten months.
From this fact it may be seen that
to Concord belongs not only the honor
of being the SGT on which twas made
the first fOrcible resistance to British
aggression" but also of being the
birthplace of the very name which for
$50 years had been the synonym for
soldier of liberty.
First Provincial Congress.
There is an error in the minds Of
those who feel that the first provincial
congress met in Salem. General Gage
tried to pull the teeth of the proposed
congress in Concord by issuing orders
that each town should elect delegates
to the general court to meet in Salem
on the 9th of October The econ
/ gress" had been called to meet in Con-
! cord on the 18th of the same
month and many, if not most Of the
towns, had already chosen their dele
/ gates. It was plainly Governor
Cages intention to fOrestal the ac-
ton of the congress by bringing to-
! gether the legitimate and recognized
assembly, over the actions Of which he
could possibly have control. However
many of the towns utterly refused to
send any representatives TO the gen
eral court with the result that on the
2Sth of September Governor Gage was
forced to issue a proclamation to the
effect that no session of the general
court would be held.
Notwithstanding the proclamation
was issued nearly one hundred of
the duly elected representatives as
sembled at Salem October 3, 1774, and
awaited until the next day for Gov
ernor Gage to appear and administer
the usual and required oaths That
functionary not appearing. the men,
hers present resolved themselves into
a convention" and proceeded to elect
officers and then voted to resolve it.

Joined by such other persons as have
been or shall be chosen for such pur-
poses" As such congress 1t met the
next day at Salem and organized by
choosing John Hancock as chairman
and BENJAMIN Lincoln as clerk. Then
they "voted to adjourn to the court
house at Concord, there to meet on
Tuesday next" October IL. The rest
is history.
