"The world has seen no grander movement than that of our Revolution . . . ? The people, to a man, were full of a great and noble sentiment.

It is marvelous to see how many powerful writers, orators, and soldiers started up just at the time when they were wanted . . . all made to unite in the one object of establishing the freedom and independence of America."

Nathaniel
Hawthorne
"The Whole History of Grandfather's Chair"

For the Centennial Celebration in 1875, a new bridge crossed the river to a new monument, "The Minute Man" by Daniel Chester French. The Minute Man stands today as a powerful symbol of our continuing struggle for liberty. He also embodies "a progress toward a true respect for the individual" - the evolving legacy of the Revolution.

"The progress from an absolute to a limited monarchy to a democracy, is a progress toward a true respect for the individual."
Henry David Thoreau
"Civil Disobedience"

"Every revolution was first a thought in one man's mind."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"History"
