About this product
Product Information
Winner of the Bancroft Prize The Minutemen and Their World , first published in 1976, is reissued now in a twenty-fifth anniversary edition with a new Foreword by Alan Taylor and a new Afterword by the author. On April 19, 1775, the American Revolution began at the Old North Bridge in Concord, Massachusetts. The "shot heard round the world" catapulted this sleepy New England town into the midst of revolutionary fervor, and Concord went on to become the intellectual capital of the new republic. The town--future home to Emerson, Thoreau, and Hawthorne--soon came to symbolize devotion to liberty, intellectual freedom, and the stubborn integrity of rural life. In The Minutemen and Their World , Robert Gross has written a remarkably subtle and detailed reconstruction of the lives and community of this special place, and a compelling interpretation of the American Revolution as a social movement.

Reviews
This lovely little book captures, intimately and authentically, the life of an eighteenth century New England town . . . gloriously good., "Robert Gross's The Minutemen and Their World is almost as famous as the April 19th battle of Concord itself, and now we have it in a new updated edition that further enriches the story. By itself this little masterpiece reveals more of the nature and complexity of the Revolution than a multitude of volumes." --Gordon S. Wood, professor emeritus at Brown University and author of Friends Divided and The Radicalism of the American Revolution "In this eloquent book, Robert Gross gives us a Concord that we have not encountered before, a surprising place that turns out to be not the quaint community of myth and legend, but a lively society, deeply engaged in the great issues of its revolutionary time--with all the tensions, anxieties, and aspirations that human being share." -- Linda K. Kerber " The Minutemen and Their World makes the American Revolution live--a vivid, compelling book that dramatizes the political consciousness and armed conflict in the very birthplace of the Revolutionary War. Few books have so brilliantly stood the test of time." -- Jon Butler "For historians, The Minutemen and Their World was a shot heard round the world. It taught us that fine history combines good scholarlship with good writing. Its reverberations are still being heard." -- Laurel Thatcher Ulrich " The Minutemen and Their World is a classic in--well, the classic sense of the world: a book of such enduring elegance and interest that it will find a readership in every generation." -- Joyce Appleby "A richly detailed picture of social life and social divisions in Concord, and a lively narrative of the coming of the Revolution there." -- Edmund S. Morgan, The New York Review of Books "This lovely little book captures, intimately and authentically, the life of an eighteenth century New England town . . . gloriously good." -- Michael Zuckerman, University of Pennsylvania, "In this eloquent book, Robert Gross gives us a Concord that we have not encountered before, a surprising place that turns out to be not the quaint community of myth and legend, but a lively society, deeply engaged in the great issues of its revolutionary time--with all the tensions, anxieties, and aspirations that human being share."--Linda K.

Wood, professor emeritus at Brown University and author of Friends Divided and The Radicalism of the American Revolution "You may think you know this most iconic of American stories--but as the ongoing research deployed in this great book make clear, it's a deeper, richer, more nuanced, complicated, and shadowed story than we once imagined. And utterly absorbing." --Bill McKibben, author of The Flag, the Cross, and the Station Wagon "In this eloquent book, Robert Gross gives us a Concord that we have not encountered before, a surprising place that turns out to be not the quaint community of myth and legend, but a lively society, deeply engaged in the great issues of its revolutionary time--with all the tensions, anxieties, and aspirations that human being share." --Linda K.

For decades, The Minutemen and Their World has been the indispensable account explaining how revolution and civil war transformed the lives of everyday Americans. Now, updated with new discoveries and more voices, it is even more essential to understanding what it was like to live through the unprecedented changes--and painful struggles--of the American Revolution." -- Robert Parkinson, associate professor of history at Binghamton University, and author of Thirteen Clocks: How Race United the Colonies and Made the Declaration of Independence "Robert Gross's The Minutemen and Their World is still unsurpassed in capturing the personal and communal experience of the American Revolution. This updated edition reinvigorates this indispensable book for a new generation of readers and scholars." -- Mark Boonshoft, professor of history at Virginia Military Institute and author of Aristocratic Education and the Making of the American Republic "In this eloquent book, Robert Gross gives us a Concord that we have not encountered before, a surprising place that turns out to be not the quaint community of myth and legend, but a lively society, deeply engaged in the great issues of its revolutionary time--with all the tensions, anxieties, and aspirations that human being share." --Linda K.
