Join Historian Alexander Cain as he discusses the pivotal events surrounding Captain John Parker's Lexington Company and the dramatic moment known as "Parker’s Revenge" on April 19, 1775. After the defeat on the Lexington Green, where Parker and his militia were overwhelmed by British forces, the Lexington men were determined to continue the fight.
