Time Machine 10: American Revolutionary

Your mission is to go back in time and discover the identity of the man who fired the first shot of the American revolution, and bring back his musket. From 1775 to 1781, the thirteen colonies on the North American continent fought a war of independence from England, then the mightiest power in the world. By the rude bridge that arched the flood, Their flag to April?s breeze unfurled, Here once the embattled farmers stood, And fired the shot heard round the world. So begins Ralph Waldo Emerson?s famous poem ?Concord Hymn,? sung at the dedication of the Battle Monument in 1837. Even then, the identity of the man who fired the first shot of the war, beginning the Battle of Lexington and Concord, in April 1775, was a mystery.
