This print is one of the most important contemporary views of the beginnings of the American Revolution. Doolittle traveled to Lexington and Concord from his home in New Haven, Connecticut, shortly after the battles in order to view the sites and obtain eyewitness accounts of the action. This image is one of four that Doolittle created. Together with Paul Revere's print of the Boston Massacre, they are the most important early American prints depicting contemporary events. Show less
