Shots Not Heard Round the World: The Assault and Raid on Fort William and Mary - Paperback

by Michael J. Sr. Geanoulis (Author)

"The first organized fight of the Revolutionary War, and on December 14, 1774, the first gun of that war was fired."

The fight in question was the raid on Fort William and Mary, in New Castle, New Hampshire, by New Hampshire citizens, after a rumor spread that British soldiers were coming to take possession of arms and powder located there. While no one was killed, shots were fired and people were injured. This happened four months before the battle of Lexington and Concord in April of 1775.

Michael Geanoulis has acquired extensive period reports describing the event, and with Shots Not Heard Round the World he shines a light on a long-forgotten piece of American history.
