no Concord bridge
WTF?! fictionalization is one thing but this?!
I was wondering where the bridge was, too.
Really though, it's just one of many historical points they just ignore. Two big ones with Washington were his taking command of the Continental Army, and the expulsion of the English from Boston.
Washington has the Congress appoint him as General of the army, and he famously accepts, by saying he doesn't feel himself equal to the honor they bestow him. But here, they have him get up, basically talk down the congress, and tell them he's going to take care of Gage himself. He then shows up in Boston with militia that he got on his ride there.
Then with the expulsion of the English from Boston they leave out the big part of the cannon works the Americans had set up, after they were delivered by Henry Knox and his men, having brought them all the way from Fort Ticonderoga. Henry Knox's delivery of those cannon from Ticonderoga was a big part of the story of the booting of British out of Boston, and it's just amazing they couldn't even mention it.
Also left out the hanging of the lanterns in the Old North Church steeple to signal "by land or by sea". I mean, this stuff really happened and is part of American mythology. Who devised the plan with the lanterns? Paul Revere, as he was a bellringer in the steeple in his youth and knew the steeple was the tallest structure in Boston.
Of course, Revere was too busy going ninja on the 3 redcoats who tried to capture him.
If you want the real story told in a way that you can put the book down, check out "Bunker Hill" by Nathaniel Philbrick. Starts the story about 1770.
