De Costa, J, and Charles Hall. A plan of the town and harbour of Boston and the country
adjacent with the road from Boston to Concord, shewing the place of the late
engagement between the King's troops & the provincials, together with the
several encampments of both armies in & about Boston. Taken from an actual
survey. London, 1775. Map. Retrieved from the Library of Congress,
https://www.loc.gov/item/gm71002447. (Accessed April 30, 2016.)
The map was admitted into the Library of Congress on September 19, 1918. There is no
date of when the actual map was written. The information the map conveys is where the
soldiers encountered each other during the battles. The author drew the actual soldiers to
help show where they marched. This information is important because an accurate
depiction is shown of what and where the battles happened.

This picture showed a depiction of what the Battles of Concord and Lexington
look like. The painter painted the British soldiers in bright colors, riding on horses
and with their soldiers lacking any injury. Then, the American soldiers were in
darker colors with many of their soldiers injured on the battleground. This
painting is biased due to the painter favoring the British side. This helped in our
research because we needed to add images to our final presentation.

This source is credible because it was published in the year 1775, which was
when the Battle of Lexington and Concord occurred. The image was most likely
used as a propaganda piece in a newspaper against the British troops, as it says at
the top it was published in Connecticut. We can see in the image the British and
colonial troops lined up across from each other.

This letter showed a personal viewing account of what occurred during the Battles
of Lexington and Concord. The information seemed to be unbiased because she
moved from England and said to be loyal to their side yet is loyal to the opposing
side also. Plus, this letter has her own personal input added which helps give a
more realistic viewpoint with very little exaggeration. This letter helped our
research because we needed to find a source that wasnt as biased as the other
sources we found. The letter helped us learn what the townspeople saw and will
be used as an example during our presentation of how the people felt.

This letter provided us insight on how the American militia acted during the
Battles of Concord and Lexington. The letter talks about the first official shot that
started the Revolutionary War. Also, a patriot colonel who wrote the letter to
an American captain, who was sending word of what happened and to send troops
to Concord. This provided us a personal viewpoint of how American soldiers
viewed this occurrence and how it sparked a revolution. While the letter was
exaggerated, we will use this for our project by sharing his letter as a personal
American soldier account.

The subject of this poster is to inform people of what happened in Concord and to
honor the men who died while fighting. The messages in the poster are both
because the images of the coffins assist in showing the impact of the battles on the
fallen. Yet, the words, like the title, really set the mood and tone of the poster. We
will use this poster during our presentation to show how authors wrote in order to
get people to pay tribute for the fallen soldiers. This will useful because
throughout the entire Revolutionary War, many American soldiers died, so, the
way the author wrote helped give an example as to how future writers should also
write in order to get people to mourn the fallen soldiers.
The American version is from Salem (Massachusetts) Gazette of April 25, 1775; the
British, from the London Gazette of June 10, 1775. Reprinted in Peter Force, ed.,
American Archives, Fourth Series (1839), vol. 2, pp. 391-392, 945-946. In The
American Spirit, ed. Daniel M. Kennedy, and Thomas A. Bailey, 147-149. Boston:
Houghton Mifflin Company, 2002.
This reference book showed the American version and British version of what
occurred in the Battle of Lexington and Concord. When comparing one point of
view to the other, it is clearly shown that there is conflicting information
according to each side. The Americans favored their military and the British
favored their own, which resulted in biased details. This article helped in our
research because it showed different sides of this encounter. This helped clarify
information and provided a design template for our poster board.

In the book, The American Vision provided basic information about the Battle of
Lexington and Concord. It stated what happened during the days leading up to the
battle and then the actual battles. Plus, the text provided us with specific dates of
the battles. Also, all of the information is unbiased and strictly historical. We used
this information to introduce the audience to our topic.
Daniels, John H. (artist), and Kathy Weiser-Alexander (restorer). "The Battle of

Lexington and Concord." Lexington Concord Battle. Accessed April 30, 2016.
The type of document this source is a painting. The document was created by
John H. Daniels in 1775. This document was created because having a general
idea of what the battle looked like when it occurred was useful to many people.
Plus, it provided people with something to look back on after the battle occurred.
We will use this during our presentation because the painting is a very credible
source and can be used to assist in the explanation of what occurred in Lexington.
Godefroy, Franois (artist). "Journe De Lexington." NYPL Digital Collections. February

2, 2007. Accessed April 30, 2016.
The type of source this document is a painting. We can assume the document was
created in or around 1775 by Francois Godefroy. The document was created
because it showed an American point of view. It shows more of the fallen
American soldiers against the ruthless British troops. This helped gain support
during the beginning stages of the war because you can see how the soldiers were
struggling and affected by seeing others die. This document can be used during
our presentation to show that in the majority of every painting, the British look
very organized and prepared while the American troops look lost.
Steele, Esther B., Joel D. Steele. Engraving of the Battle of Lexington and Concord in
1775. Created 1885. Found in A Brief History of the United States
This image showed an idea of what happened during these battles. The picture
showed the American army shooting at the British troops on their way back to
Boston. This helped show a viewpoint that wasnt there on the day, yet provided
an unbiased picture. The image shows historical facts instead of favoring one side
and having them look stronger. We used this image during our presentation
because it helped show an overall idea of what the Battles of Lexington and
Concord looked like.
Tiebout, Cornelius. "Shot Heard Round The World Start of American Revolution 1775."
Shot Heard Round The World Start of American Revolution 1775. Accessed
April 30, 2016.
The type of document is a picture. The document was created at an unknown date,
probably in or around 1775. The document was created for anyone who wanted to
view it. Though it was not an exact picture of the event, the author wanted to
provide a general idea. A significant point made by the author was to show the
panic in everybody's faces once the first shot happened. Next, the author showed
how the troops looked very serious and how they were planning something.
Finally, the author showed civilians running away, which left a lasting impact. We
will use this document during our presentation to show how important this first
shot was and how it was crucial to the war.
