From the Paper:

"In order to completely understand the events that transpired on April 19, 1775 and that, which led up to them, it is important to carefully analyze historical records that are available. A helpful tool in doing so, also provided by Linda Joseph, is Harold Murdock's book, published in 1923, The 19th of April 1775: Historic Doubts on the Battle of Lexington. In it, he provides the controversies related to the battle, the events prior and the events that followed (Joseph 28-29). His examination is insightful and helps the reader to objectively perceive the battle, the doubts, and the truths based on factual support provided primarily in the form of government records and eyewitness accounts."
