April 19, 1775: The Shot Heard Round the World
|
 |
The American Dead
|
 |
|
 |
The fifty Americans who were killed or mortally wounded on April 19, 1775. In the case of nine individuals,
memorial sites are listed in lieu of unknown final resting places. After each town name, the source of information for
that town is given credit. This site would be sorely incomplete without their assistance; however, I claim all errors
as my own.
