The Minute Men: The First Fight: Myths and Realities of the American Revolution by Galvin, John R.

The concept of the farmer and shopkeeper pulling rifles off pegs on the wall to fight the British has been the typical image of the American minuteman. The fact that he may have had military training and drilled--and that April 19, 1775 was not his first battle--usually goes unmentioned. Winner of the American Revolution Round Table Award, The Minute Men will be of keen interest to those curious about the true history of some of America's first soldiers.
