Footprints
Hundreds of men and boys, from all the towns, marched off to protect the military stores in Concord and stayed to support the conflicts. We consider the paths of these local men no less important than the Battle Road. They tell a story of the size and extent of the action. Each town has records of where the patriots gathered, who went to war, and the burial sites for those who did not survive. We will certainly never identify all the paths they took, but we know they are there, the silent footprints of our history.
