98Z5V Posted Friday at 03:49 AM Author Report Share Posted Friday at 03:49 AM In 1990, I canoed the Concord River, rented a canoe, and made the journey. I've been to the statue on the Concord River where the first shot was fired. I'd encourage everyone to do this, and check it out. It's pretty impressive. The 3 strikes of the match. That's what led to the Revolutionary War. 3rd strike - we're going. And we did... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted Friday at 04:01 AM Author Report Share Posted Friday at 04:01 AM This was my chapter to teach, during every Appleseed Shoot. Hezekiah Wyman. White Death. I loved it every single time I taught it, during every shoot. https://boston1775.blogspot.com/2010/06/documented-life-of-hezekiah-wyman.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted Friday at 04:08 AM Author Report Share Posted Friday at 04:08 AM We make our mark on our country, men. What is the mark that you will make? What do you leave the others, that will follow you in these steps that you've taken? What guidance have you given, information shared, things taught? What have you passed on, to the next generation? And the next generation after that? I've been working on making my own mark, for about 40 years now. Since 1986. Influence others, guide, direct, train. 3 things every leader needs to provide to his soldiers - Purpose, Motivation, and Direction. I've been trying here, since 2010. I hope I've made an impact, somewhere, on someone. Go do good things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted 19 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 19 hours ago (edited) So, the Revolutionary War wasn't an instant start. It had been brewing for years and years. The taxation, and the abuse. This is why I always recommend that everyone watch "Sons of Liberty," the 6 hour miniseries. It does a very, very good job at showing how everything was leading up to war, and the beginning of the war itself. It's absolutely excellent. So, during the teaching of Appleseed - it's a weekend Sat-Sun shooting event - 50% history of the revolutionary War, and 50% shooting... You'll come out of that a much better shooter, no matter what your current skill level is... During the teaching of that, Instructors focus on key individuals, as well as the 3 Strikes of the Match. The three main trigger-events that sparked it all off. Here are all 3 Strikes of the Match: Edited 19 hours ago by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisco Posted 9 hours ago Report Share Posted 9 hours ago My wife had an ancestor at Concord. His journal writings which her family has a copy of, say he was wounded and carried off the field of battle by an officer with the same last name I have. We often wonder if it was an ancestor of mine. Will never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
