This week as the 250th anniversary of the beginning of the American Revolution approaches we are joined by U.S. Antiques Roadshow expert and historian Joel Bohy to cover the 1988 Hallmark Hall of Fame movie 'April Morning' that was adapted from the revered 1961 novel of the same name. The film stars Tommy Lee Jones, Chad Lowe and Rip Torn as they stare the redcoats down on the green at Lexington on that titular April Morning in 1775! Joel has just published a new book examining the Battles of Lexington & Concord using extensive archival research, archaeological studies and modern forensic ballistic techniques to shed new light on how the battle was fought.
