Revolutionary Walks – Minute Man National Historic Park

Let’s take a walk through Minute Man National Historic Park!

This park provides a window to the world of the Revolutionary War. Located in Concord, Massachusetts, the Minute Man park is named for the militia that could be called on a minute’s notice.

David Brown was one such man. He was a 47-year-old captain of one of Concord’s own minute man companies, but in daily life Brown was a farmer and a Concord selectman, a descendant of English settlers in Massachusetts.

Brown and his men marched through his fields to the North Bridge. Below, the stone marker that denotes his house and his original foundation with fence.

FAQ of the moment:

This was a hot ticket question back when Kate Middleton and Prince William were to be married in 2011. William was born a prince, so when he married Kate, she automatically became a princess.

Technically speaking, however, she’s not “Princess Kate”. Kate is actually Princess William, but since the Queen granted William the dukedom of Cambridge, Kate goes by The Duchess of Cambridge.

You can say “Princess Anne” because Anne was born a princess. It’s incorrect to say “Princess Kate” because she was not born a princess, she simply married a prince.

This was also the case with Prince William’s mother. Diana was The Princess Charles. Since that sounded awkward, she went by The Princess of Wales. Thanks to the shorthand of the media, however, her more popular moniker was “Princess Di”, hence the confusion now.
