Bullet Strikes From the First Day of the American Revolution by Joel Bohy and Douglas Scott
In this new and fascinating book come along on a tour down Battle Road to discover the “Shots Heard ‘Round the World…”
Using forensic techniques straight out of CSI, the authors have located the surviving bullet holes and bullet-struck artifacts from the battle that started the American Revolution. Learn what these violent scars of conflict and patriotism can tell us about what really happened on that fateful day when the redcoats marched on Lexington and Concord. The whole route back to Boston, as the British fled their defeat at North Bridge, was riddled with musket fire. Dramatic scenes unfolded in places like Concord, Lincoln, Lexington, and Arlington that can still be visited today. The fighting turns out to have been much more fierce than had previously been thought, and this colorful new book tells the whole exciting story.

Murphy Connor –
Beautifully illustrated. The pictures drew me into the well-written text and the first-person accounts. The stories of the bullet strikes and the oral history were interesting, but as Bohy and Scott test these stories using the bullet strikes as forensic evidence – the narrative becomes CSI-worthy.

“Bullet Strikes” is an outstanding historical and forensic study of the projectiles fired on that historic first day. I congratulate Joel Bohy and Douglas Scott on a well researched and captivating book.
