On 31 March 1813, minister Avery Williams stood before the people of Lexington, Massachusetts to mark a hundred years of their town's life and memory. History breathes in these pages. His eloquent town centennial oration weaves scriptural reflection with vivid recollections of settlement, struggle, and the fateful morning of the American Revolution on Lexington Green, creating an early American sermon that is also a rich primary source history text. In tracing Lexington Massachusetts history from New England town founding to the Lexington and Concord era, Williams offers a rare window onto 18th century New England piety, civic pride, and the meaning of American liberty only a generation after independence. This historical discourse edition appeals both to readers of early American orations and to anyone exploring Revolutionary War town histories or homeschool early american history. More than a local chronicle, it preserves the collective American Revolution remembrance as experienced in a community that helped ignite it, capturing voices, values, and anxieties that standard narratives overlook. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Ideal for family libraries, local-history enthusiasts, and serious students alike, this classic of Lexington Massachusetts history and 18th century New England devotion speaks across two centuries with undimmed moral force.
