The British Invade Boston

3/24/2016

 
Mob rule over the previous three years had literally scared the British authorities into helplessness or flight back to England.  Parliamentary law after law had been undermined by Colonial sedition. Two British regiments, the 14th, and 29th, landed in Boston on October 1, 1768, with 2,000 soldiers and various artillery, horse and support troops.  The soldiers expected an active revolution.  They initially received the cold shoulder. Our Boston Massacre tour will build on social, religious, military and legal issues that were ignited eighteen months later on March 5, 1770 at the location below.
Our tour will not quite take this long.  Standard tours are ninety-minutes but can be very informative in an hour.

Hi Sheila,


I just wanted to tell you and Mitch how very much I enjoyed today. Mitch is passion for history comes through loud and clear in his delivery.

I learned new facts about Paul Revere that I had never known before.

Mitch was so well-prepared including all of the pictures and it was obvious that heput a lot of time and effort into this tour and the presentation.

So thank you so much for the invitation
He did a great job!

Hi Beth,

Thanks for asking us to go on your tour, Mitch, of Boston’s historic sites. Your enthusiasm and love of history is contagious. You made history come alive. Sorry I had to leave early. I bet the tour of the North End was equally exciting! You put your all into it.

Hi Mitch, resume services reviews has just posted a comment on your blog post,     Why Did Paul Revere Become a Coroner at the   Age of Sixty-two? : This is a very interesting piece of historical information. I was never aware of this information before. I didn't even know how relevant Paul Revere is in the history of Boston. It seems that he is a very important figure on Boston's foundation. I'm definitely going to dwell further into matter and research more about him.

10/15/2016 Thank you so much for the Boston Massacre Tour.  I never knew it was such a complicated affair.  I particularly liked the incidental historical stops about Colonial Boston.  I hadn't been downtown for years.  You opened up so much for me.  June, Natick Ma.
