Opposite page: Itâs here the first shots of the Revolution were fired on March 5, 1770.
Twenty-one days after the event, what became one of Paul Revereâs most famous works, âThe Bloody Massacre Perpetrated in King Street,â an engraving (which many say is based on a drawing by Henry Pelham) of a line of British soldiers firing at unarmed Bostonians, was sold in prints. The piece is said to have misrepresented the scene, deliberately omitting the chaos and rioting on the part of the colonists, and quickly circulated as a piece of anti-British propaganda.
âThe Part I took in Defence of Cptn. Preston and the Soldiers, procured me Anxiety, and Obloquy enough. It was, however, one of the most gallant, generous, manly and disinterested Actions of my whole Life, and one of the best Pieces of Service I ever rendered my Country. Judgment of Death against those Soldiers would have been as foul a Stain upon this Country as the Executions of the Quakers or Witches, anciently. As the Evidence was, the Verdict of the Jury was exactly right.â
âFrom Adams, John. Diary and Autobiography of John Adams.
