The Minute Men by John R Galvin
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. Winner of the American Revolution Round Table Award, this book is of interest to those curious about the true history of some of America's first soldiers.
"A splendid book...If the true measure of a book is how it stands up over time, then this one is indeed a classic....Galvin has captured the human ingredients of the story, and he portrays them vividly."—Parameters
"Far more remarkable than fiction."—Portland Sun-Telegram
"A convincing reinterpretation both of the Minute Men and of the battle which enshrined them as pioneers of American patriotism."—Cullom Davis, Louisville Courier-Journal
