    First major conflict of the American Colonial rebellion (War of Independence) was on the 18th of April. In honor of that we have a little quiz!

    (British are welcome to try . . )

    Longfellow perpetuated the "hang a lattern aloft" myth. Go to the North Church (still there) and you can see the upper story windows.

    From across the bay, two lanterns in a 4 ft wide tower would look like ONE light. So in two high windows they placed the lights to show TWO distinct lights - "two if by sea".
