Battle of Lexington: This battle was fought on a village green. The militia that fought was wide open and their was only one British solider wounded. No record of rebels in trees.

Battle of Concord: Militia holds bridge against advancing British troops. No record (that I know of) of rebels in trees.

After the battle there was guerilla action as the British troops retreated from Concord with rebels in the trees. But that was a seperate engagment.

Poking small holes? Yes. Petty? Yes. But you bring it on yourself with your use of charts.

The chart originally read “Battles of Lexington and Concord,” which was meant to include the subsequent retreat to Boston — but it was shortened for legibility.

“Petty? Yes. But you bring it on yourself with your use of charts.”

LOL :-)
