Many of the officers who served\\nduring the Revolution received the rudiments of their mili-\\ntary education in the French and Indian War; and the ex-\\nperience there gained stood them in good stead.

The final success\\nof the military struggle was due as much to their foresight\\nand sagacity in this respect as to the deep feeling of the\\npeople. The alarm at Lexington on the memorable Nine-\\nteenth of April aroused almost simultaneously the whole\\ncountry for miles around, so carefully had the region in the\\nneighborhood been allotted to special messengers, whose duty\\nwas arranged beforehand for such a purpose. On the side\\nof the patriots the skirmishes of that day were fought by\\ncompanies made up largely of minute-men, organized on\\nrecommendation of the First Provincial Congress of Massa-\\nchusetts, in a Resolve passed at Cambridge on October 26,\\n1774. At that time it was recommended to the field officers\\nof the various militia regiments that they should enlist at\\nleast one-quarter of their respective commands, and form\\nthem into companies to be held in readiness, at the shortest\\nnotice from the Committee of Safety, to march to the place\\nof rendezvous. Such soldiers soon became known as Min-\\nute-men and at the first signal of hostilities they were on\\nhand, armed and equipped, ready for any emergency that\\nthey might be called upon to meet. At this critical period\\nin many ways they proved to be of great help to the popular\\ncause. The existence of such a body of drilled men seems\\nto have been prompted by the practice of nearly twenty years\\nbefore, during the French and Indian War, when there were\\nbands of men, known as Alarm lists, who were to be ready\\nfor military service at a minute s warning. And in their\\nturn these Alarm lists followed the precedent set by the\\nSuffolk and Middlesex regiments, which at the beginning of\\nPhilip s War were ordered by the General Court to be ready\\nto march on a moment s warning. Even before this time,\\nas early as August 12, 1645, in anticipation of trouble with\\nthe Indians it was ordered that thirty men out of every hun-\\ndred in the militia should be ready at halfe an bowers\\nwarning for any service that they might be called upon to\\nperform by their commanding officers.", "height": "3438", "width": "2145", "jp2-path": "grotonduringrevo00gree_0021.jp2"}, "20": {"fulltext": "4 Groton during the Revolution\\nThese various instances all contain the germ of the system.\\nThus it is seen that, for a period of a hundred and thirty\\nyears before the Revolution, the minute-man was a prime\\nfactor in both the Colonial and Provincial militia.\\nThe Advance of the British Troops\\nThe news of the advance of the British troops on Lexing-\\nton and Concord reached the village of Groton early in\\nthe morning of the Nineteenth, when word was sent at once\\nto all parts of the town calling on the minute-men to rally\\non the Common in front of the Meeting-house.

From\\nthis custom arose the modern militia muster.\\nDuring a long time, and particularly in the early part of\\nthe present century, many such musters were held at Groton.\\nA training-field often used for the purpose was the plain, sit-\\nuated near Capell s Mills, a mile and a half northwest of the\\nvillage. Sometimes they were held on the easterly side of the\\nGreat Road, and at other times on the westerly side. During\\nmy boyhood musters took place, twice certainly, on the east-\\nern slope of the hill on the south side of the Broad Meadow\\nRoad near Farmers Row; and also, once certainly, in the\\nfield lying southeast of Lawrence Academy, where High\\nStreet now runs, though it occurred before that street was\\nlaid out. Musters have been held on land back of the house\\nformerly occupied by Charles Jacobs, and in a field near the\\ndwelling where Benjamin Moors used to live, close by James s\\nBrook in the south part of the town.\\nA well-known military company of the State militia, and\\none of the oldest in the State, was the Groton Artillery,\\norganized on October 19, 1778, with William Swan as its\\nfirst captain. (See page 296 for an early item concerning\\nthis company.) In later times, known as Co. B, Sixth Massa-\\nchusetts Militia Regiment of Infantry, it took part in the War\\nof the Rebellion. It went into the public service on the memo-\\nrable occasion when Governor John A. Andrew called for\\nthree-months men to go to Washington, and it was one of\\nthe companies forming the Sixth Massachusetts Militia Regi-\\nment which passed through Baltimore on April 19, 1861.\\nAfter an eventful experience at the outset, the regiment re-\\nturned to Boston on August i.
