From Great Barrington, the road trip crosses over the scenic Berkshire Mountains then through Westfield, West Springfield and Springfield, where a colonial armory made Springfield a Revolutionary War crossroad. From Springfield, the road trip continues east through Palmer, Sturbridge, Northborough, Marlborough, Sudbury (the Wayside Inn), Wayland, and Concord, where on April 19, 1775, Americans first attacked British forces and marked the beginning of the Revolutionary War.

Download or read book Henry Knox and the Revolutionary War Trail in Western Massachusetts written by Bernard A. Drew and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2012-01-23 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the winter of 1776, in one of the most amazing logistical feats of the Revolutionary War, Henry Knox and his teamsters transported cannons from Fort Ticonderoga through the sparsely populated Berkshires to Boston to help drive British forces from the city. This history documents Knox's precise route--dubbed the Henry Knox Trail--and chronicles the evolution of an ordinary Indian path into a fur corridor, a settlement trail, and eventually a war road. By recounting the growth of this important but under appreciated thoroughfare, this study offers critical insight into a vital Revolutionary supply route.
Download or read book Along New York s Route 20 written by Michael J. Till and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2011-04-11 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few roads can match Route 20's beauty, history, or contribution to New York's vitality. In 1926, Route 20 became a federal highway and evolved into New York's foremost east-west road. But unlike most early highways, it has survived almost completely intact. The story of Route 20 is told through more than 200 vintage postcards showing scenes from the Shaker communities in Columbia County to the Lake Erie Shore. The postcards show the personality of the road: main streets, the Finger Lakes, and scenic vistas. Not to be forgotten are the tourist courts, hotels, diners, and gas stations that made travel possible. In The Revolutionary War in Bergen County, Carol Karels and her team of scholars weave a masterful account of the war in northeastern New Jersey. Here in Bergen County General Washington took the young Marquis de Lafayette under his wing; here in Bergen County the future antagonists Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton were baptized by fire; here in Bergen County families--in a prelude to the Civil War--split bitterly along Loyalist and Patriotic lines. From Washington's miraculous November 1776 retreat to the Delaware to the beginning of the Continental Army's epic August 1781 march to destiny at Yorktown, The Revolutionary War in Bergen County, comprehensively encompasses one of the Revolutionary War's most dramatic and pivotal fronts.
