On April 19  1775  the American Revolution began at the Old North Bridge in Concord  Massachusetts. The \"shot heard round the world\" catapulted this sleepy New England town into the midst of revolutionary fervor  and Concord went on to become the intellectual capital of the new republic. The town--future home to Emerson  Thoreau  and Hawthorne--soon came to symbolize devotion to liberty  intellectual freedom  and the stubborn integrity of rural life. In The Minutemen and Their World  Robert Gross has written a remarkably subtle and detailed reconstruction of the lives and community of this special place  and a compelling interpretation of the American Revolution as a social movement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44968041447477,"sku":"ByrdShop_0809069334","price":59.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780809069330.jpg?v=1770644940","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-minutemen-and-their-world-american-century-series","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
