Hi Sir,
Another New Englander who is really excited to have you on RP. Lexington & Concord and Bunker Hill are two areas that I've always been interested in. Growing up in Cambridge, I've passed makers along Mass Ave related to the British retreat, visited the National Park many times and been into many houses that stood in 1775. I'm not an expert but I've also read several books on the subject including "Lexington & Concord" by Tourtellot, "American Spring" by Borneman, "1776" by McCullough and "Bunker Hill" by Philbrick.

New information is always coming out and I will always read something about a familiar topic from a different perspective, however what makes your book different than the others? For those who've been to museums, read other books, walked the grounds, etc. what's the one reason we should read this one?

Also, what's the best place to eat and get a local beer in Portland?

Being from New England we grew up seeing the old battle fields. Prior to Lexington and Concord there were other incidents, do you cover these in your book?
