On this episode of *Dave Does History*, we travel back to April 19, 1775, and the misty morning on Lexington Green where the first shots of the American Revolution were fired. But we are not just talking about battles—we are talking about people. Join Dave as he shares the story of Ebenezer Bowman, a seventeen-year-old Minute Man who stood his ground, witnessed the opening volleys of war, and later helped shape the new nation. It is a personal look at the dawn of American independence, and why that moment still matters today. This is history that hits home.
