Bio / Background
14 Miles to Boston
The distance was 14 miles or so from the Hartwell tavern in north Lincoln to Boston along the Bay or County Road in 1775. Today, a stone marker near that historic public house reflects that fact. A traveler by foot, horse or wagon in the mid-18th Century to early 19th Century might expect to encounter numerous inns and taverns with such names as Hartwell and Brooks in Lincoln; Buckman, Munroe and Bull or Viles in Lexington; Cooper, Newell, Tufts and Black Horse/Wetheby in Menotomy. Further to the west in Concord could be found establishments under the names Wright, Brown, Jones/Bigelow, Shepherd and Wesson.
These businesses were the source of good food and beverage, stimulating conversation, current news and gossip and on occasion, excellent, lively entertainment to rouse the spirit or calm the nerves. However, on the 19th of April 1775 many of these locations were hostile sites for the King’s Regulars retreating from Concord.
