Lexington & Concord: The First Battles of the Revolutionary War

Available for over a year

The shot heard ‘round the world'; the start of the American Revolution. An event that would have profound consequences for world history, especially western democracy. Who’d have thought that something of such magnitude would begin in a small settlement with as many cows as people living in it? Don Wildman hops across the Atlantic from American History Hit to Echoes of History to help Matt Lewis understand how two tiny towns became the spark that lit the fire of the American War of Independence. All music from Epidemic Sounds/All3 Media American History Hit is a History Hit podcast.
