abandoned, to again become part of
the Old Manse estate. Its then occu-
pant, Rev. DR.. Ripley, took pride in
pasturing his COW sin the battlefield"
as he called it. When the town of
Concord determined to erect a monu-
ment at the site of the North bridge
he returned the land to the municipal
ity upon the occasion of the dedica-
ton of the shaft in 1886. In the
spring of 1875, upon the one hun
dredth anniversary of the Battle of
North Bridge, Daniel Chester French's
monument of the Minute Man was
dedicated, and upon its base is CHS
eled one verse of Emersons stirring
hymn.
To recount a bit of history may be
like carrying Goals to Newcastle.
However, here goes:
Gage, who was in British command
in Boston, learned that in Concord
were a considerable quantity of pa
triot stores, and he determined to take
or destroy them. He sent a detach-
ment of troops to carry out his or
ders. The grenadiers met their first
resistance at Lexington early on the
morning of April 10, 1T75. Troops
under Colonel Smith and Major Pit
cairn pushed on to Concord. Pitcairn
took up his headquarters at the
Wright tavern, and a detachment was
sent to North bridge. Captain Laurie,
in command, stationed his men advan-
tageously, as he thought. The pa
triots were massed on Punkatasset
hill, and, when reinforcements ar
rived, Col. James Barrett ordered
them down to the neighborhood of
Major Buttrick's home.
Captain Laurie, alarmed at this,
sent to Smith for achievements. At
9 a. m. Colonel Barrett ordered Butt
rick to lead his men to the bridge,
but cautioned them not to fire first.
The company from Acton, under the
command Of a Captain Davis, was first
and this was followed by other COM

A-~

panies from many places. Laurie i'm
mediately withdrew his men across
the bridge, and some Of them began
tearing up the planks to prevent the
patriots from crossing. Buttrick
shouted to them to stop. The British
fired few shots at random; one,
however, fired at Buttrick, missed him,
and wounded two men behind him.
Davis, the Acton company COM
mander, stepped aside so as not to
be in line of fire of his own soldiers
and prepared to give the necessary
command, when the British fired a
volley. Davis and one of his men fell
wounded. Buttrick then gave the
command and the provincial fire raked
the British. They retreated, leaving
two dead upon the field.
A moment for these two soldiers.
At the right of the shaft, as one
walks toward the bridge, is the hum
BILE tomb of these unknown warriors.
They have slept unmolested in this
shaded spot where they were buried
154 years ago by Zachariah Brown
and Thomas Davis.
At Concord the British burned the
courthouse, chopped down the liberty
pole and did some other damage, but
the arms and ammunition they could
not find, with the exception of a few
cannon. And the Minute Men were
gathering all around them, at first
from the fields and villages nearby,
then from those a little farther off,
then from still greater distances. For
a time they stood on the hill and
watched the troops in the town, while
every minute their number grew.
When there were about 400 of them,
they suddenly charged down on the
North bridge. There were 200 Brit
ish regulars there. Firing and fired
upon, the Americans rushed the
bridge and drove them into the town.
Still the Minute Men were coming.
All morning, while the troops were
busy in the town, the militia tramped
along the roads and trickled from
every farm.
Realizing his danger at last, Colonel
Smith started back to Boston. But
there were militia on both sides of
them, militia behind them, militia
stationed at places which they must
pass on the road, riflemen behind
every bush and stone, sharpshooters
in every tree. The British literally
could do nothing but run, and run
they did, until they met Lord Percy,
with 1900 men and two cannon, just
beyond Lexington, and fell exhausted
in the hollow square which he drew
up to protect them.
An hours rest, and the whole force
was on the way again, but the whole
country was now swarming with
militia, and Percy, too, had to fight
his way. Seven miles from Boston, a
fresh force Of militia nearly stopped
him altogether and at sunset he
reached Challestown and the shelter
Of the British fleet, on the dead run,
while 700 more militia were marching
to intercept him.
The British lost 273, the Americans
93 And the British had discovered
they had stirred up a hornets nest.

CONCORD HYMN

By the rude bridge that arched the flood
Their flag to Aprils breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood
And fired the shot heard round the world
The foe long since in silence slept;
Alike the conqueror silent sleeps;
And Time the ruined bridge has swept
Down the dark stream which seward creeps.
On this green bank. by this soft stream,
We raise today votive stone;
That memory may their deed redeem
When, like sires, our sons are gone.
Spirit, that babe those heroes dare
To die, and leave their children free,
Bid Time and Nature gently spare
The shaft we raise to them and thee.

One of the most venerated shrines
in the United States lies at the re-
mote end of a cul-de-sac leading from
Monument street and perhaps trifle
more than mile from the center of
the town of Concord, Mass.
Time was when this was not
cul-de-sac, but a highway that eX-
tended from what then-that is in
1775-was called Great Meadows road,
across the Concord river, where it
branched one fork connecting with
the highway near the Buttrick home,
and the other intersecting the Lowell
road near Colonel Barrett's place.
The connecting link between the two
shores of the sluggish stream was
known as the North bridge, and so it
is today. This -without-an-eXit
is not more than 400 feet in length
and shaded from end to end by trees
of dignity, size and age.
