SUMMARY:Paul Revere and Plan B: Planning and Improvisation in the Lexington Alarm
DESCRIPTION:After the Battle of Lexington & Concord on April 19\, 1775\, Massachusetts resistance leaders portrayed the uprising as a mostly spontaneous response to the army’s incursion into a peaceful countryside. Decades later\, Henry W. Longfellow presented “Paul Revere’s Ride” as nearly a one-man show. \nIn truth\, the Massachusetts Patriots had prepared for months to resist the Crown military. Revere was part of a network of organizers\, informants\, and alarm riders. At the same time\, Revere and his colleagues succeeded by being able to respond to contingencies by changing their plans. Drawing on new research\, this talk will shed light on one of independent America’s oldest stories—and how the day could have turned out differently. J.L. Bell maintains the Boston1775.net website\, offering daily helpings of history\, analysis\, and unabashed gossip about Revolutionary New England. He is the author of “The Road to Concord: How Four Stolen Cannon Ignited the Revolutionary War.”\nRegister here.
