Having lived in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where Patriot's Day is a major holiday, for 15 years, I can assure you that on April 19, 1775, there was a Battle of Lexington, and a Battle of Concord, but there was no Battle of Cambridge unless Paul Revere and William Dawes were battling traffic in Harvard Square on their way through town. > Is there any date between 1775-1783 that some battle didn't take > place somewhere? December 24, 1776. Washington was getting ready to cross the Delaware. He didn't attack Trenton until the following day. > I thought I would compliment the FBI on their new publication.
