Revolution 250 Podcast - The Civilian Evacuation of April 19, 1775

April 19, 1775 is long remembered for the march of the British Army to Lexington & Concord and the resulting day-long retreat under heavy fire by local militia units. Less well known is the tale of the hundreds of women, children and elders who fled their homes, some of them burning, along the route of the battle. Join Professor Robert Allison (Suffolk University) in conversation with Alexander Cain, founder of the popular blog "Historical Nerdery," and the author of "We Stood Our Ground: Lexington in the First Year of the American Revolution" and "I See Nothing but the Horrors of a Civil War."
