Introduction
“The Young Continentals at Lexington”begins with that vital period of our country’shistory when the great forces that made theRevolution were slowly coming together.
The port of Boston was closed; an armyunder Gage occupied the city; MassachusettsBay was thronged with troop-ships andfrigates, and the colonies were writhing undera series of unjust and oppressive laws.
It was at this time that the four boys whoplay the leading parts in the story began theirexperiences. Historical events that led up tothe war for independence are met with inevery chapter; the great personages of thetime figure upon almost every page. Fromthe meeting of the first Congress at Carpenter’sHall to the stand of the minutemen at Lexingtonand Concord Bridge, every importantstep in the movement for national life istouched on.
The second book of the series, “The Young[4]Continentals at Bunker Hill,” takes up thethread of history where this book leaves it.It will show the siege of Boston, and theglorious defeat on the Hill. It will tell howWashington was given command of the army;how he sent word to Ethan Allen; how theheavy guns he captured at Ticonderoga werehauled through the winter wilderness uponsledges to Boston; also how Washingtonmounted them upon Dorchester Heights andfinally drove the army of Gage from the city.
