This is a 1928 Helen Bodley pictorial map of Concord, Massachusetts. Depicting the town of Concord and its environs, Bodley provides an intriguing blend of the historical and the modern. Numerous American Revolutionary War references appear. One near Peter's Field states that it is the 'Birthplace of American Liberty April 19, 1775.' Other illustrations mark where the colonials ate breakfast the morning of the Battle of Lexington and Concord, and a trail of footprints marks the Colonial Army's path to intercept the British soldiers at Merriam's Corner on their way back to Boston. A minuteman and a British redcoat look at each other along the right side, perhaps the most obvious Revolutionary War illustration. Sites around Concord are identified as well, including the library, armory, the Concord Country Club. Branches of the New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad run through the area. Vignette views of historic houses and other important buildings create the left and right borders, yet another way Bodley brings the historical into the modern mindset. (more details)
