Editor’s note: see a photo taken by Rob on Monday morning in Lincoln Through the Lens.
To the editor:
Lincoln is a town of many treasures. Sunday night and (early!) Monday morning, we were reminded the Lincoln Minute Men are well among them.
On Sunday evening, the Minute Men reenacted the Sounding of the Alarm that the British Regulars were on the march. In addition to rousing tunes, musket volley’s and pealing of the church bells, we were treated to a vivid description of the heroics of Revere, Dawes and Prescott when they were ambushed by a British patrol in North Lincoln.
Monday morning, as the Minute Men mustered for their march to Concord, we were reminded not only of the Patriots of the American Revolution but all those who have followed in their footsteps since.
Thanks again to all the Lincoln Minute Men and their families and friends for sharing such a toppingly transcendent tradition with spirit and style.
Sincerely,
Rob Jevon
