The "Lexington Alarm" April 19, 1775 The first shots of the American Revolution were fired in Massachusetts, and before the smoke had cleared a number of Stebbins had taken up arms in the Patriot cause. By the early spring of 1775, Lieutenant General Thomas Gage, commander in chief of British forces in North American and Royal Governor of the Colony of Massachusetts Bay, found his authority effectively limited to the reach of his Boston-based troops in a province seething with rebellious activity. On April 19, 1775, he dispatched a picked force of elite light infantry and grenadiers from Boston to Cambridge to seize gunpowder and weapons the colonists were collecting there. The operation was planned as a surprise raid, but Boston Patriots discovered it almost immediately and dispatched express riders, including the celebrated Paul Revere, galloping off in all directions to raise the alarm and call out the militia.

When the Redcoats reached Lexington, they found the local militia company drawn up on the village common. Someone unknown to history fired a shot and the British responded by dispersing the militia with a single volley and a bayonet charge, killing 8 militiamen and wounding 9 more. A short time later, at Concord, several militia companies confronted the British at North Bridge and, firing the "shot heard 'round the world", repulsed them. Responding to what became known as the "Lexington Alarm", more militia companies poured in from surrounding towns, and the British, finding themselves heavily outnumbered by an armed and thoroughly aroused populace, promptly countermarched to Boston. All along their route they were harassed by militiamen, firing into their flanks and rear. By the time they reached the security of their Boston enclave, they had suffered the loss of 73 officers and men killed, 174 wounded, and 26 missing.
