Описание:
250 years ago, on December 14th, the American Revolutionary War really began. Here in New Castle New Hampshire, locals and militias raided the English Fort William and Mary on the coast. Four months before Lexington and Concord, this act marks the first act of combat in the war, despite it never getting the recognition it deserves.
