Art
Prints of the Bridge at Concord
The
bridge at Concord, Massachusetts played a significant role in the American
war of independence. On the 19th of April, 1775, American and
British soldiers exchanged fire in the towns of Lexington and Concord in
Massachusetts. The Americans were fighting a war of independence from the
British. King George III had commanded General Thomas Gage to suppress the
American rebellion. 700 British soldiers were then assigned to seize the
American ammunition store at Concord.
At
the bridge in Concord, the British were confronted by about 400 American
troops and were forced to retreat to Boston with the Americans firing on
them all the way through. By the end of the day, the Americans were
singing Yankee Doodle and the American revolution had begun.
Art
prints of the bridge at concord where this historic event took place are
rare. We present three such art prints below:
The
first print shows the American defense in action against the British. The second
shows the American assault while the third art print depicts the British
retreat. If
