Excerpt from New Chapter in the History of the Concord Fight: Groton Minute-Men at the North Bridge, April 19, 1775 The circumstance which had induced them to call the meeting was the arrival of some brass cannon from Concord. Of course the presence of these immediately gave rise to discussion and speculation as to the, cause and the reason of their being sent to Groton from Con cord. Various suggestions were made, the most promi nent of which was a proposition that the company should proceed at once to Concord; but this, when put to vote, was determined in the negative, most of the members preferring to wait for further intelligence.
