Pictured (above) is the Lexington Minuteman. Emerson's poem commemorates the battle at Concord. Colonists first engaged the British at Lexington, but were easily overwhelmed by the professional British soldiers. The British then began a march to Concord where colonists there had time to better prepare. They inflicted heavy casualties on the British and forced them to retreat.
