Tomorrow is the 250th anniversary of the start of the #RevolutionaryWar, and the @clementslibrary is the home of the draft orders that led to those opening battles at Concord & Lexington. You can learn more in their current exhibit, "Bloody Work" and here:
news.umich.edu
The start of the Revolutionary War 250 years ago can be traced to one manuscript containing the orders for the Concord Expedition on April 18, 1775.
Draft orders written by British Army officer Thomas Gage, which sparked the battles of Lexington and Concord and the Revolutionary War, are housed at @ClementsLibrary and on view through September 19, 2025. Feature from @UMichiganNews: https://t.co/ZkziQU9OPO
