Book Description

Excerpt from Lexington Centennial Sermons: Delivered in the First Congregational Church, Lexington, Mass;, April 11th, 18th, and 25th, 1875 As the day which marks the close of a century since the beginning of the American Revolution approaches, no small amount of interest centres in the village of Lexington, which witnessed the opening scene of that war. Years ago, when, as school children, in some other town or State, many of us read the account of the Battle of Lexington, it was with the resolution that, at some future day, our feet should stand upon the ground made sacred by the first blood shed in defence of American liberty. And now, when the day that many will choose on which to keep such resolutions is so near, let us glance hastily at the Old Lexington of pre-revolutionary times, and consider some of -the causes which have made the name of our village familiar to every citizen of this country.
