What Did the British Officers Inquire About?

my calculatingly iconoclastic posting about the strong that the battle of lexington and concord would have happened much the anyhow way even without all of paul revere’s activity on 18-19 apr 1775 prompted some interesting replies.one was from jay fitzgerald at hub blog, who seemed to contemplate that the posting was directed at longfellow’s rhyme rather than nonfiction histories of the battle. while that rime created or perpetuated some popular misconceptions near venerate, no history reader takes it as accurate, and its myths are handily dismissed. fitzgerald appears to want to celebrate the semi-fictional revere for “capturing the public’s imagination,” but celebrations are a of importance of heritage, not narrative.more thoughtfully, garden keeper wrote a long comment that began:i know that you acquire written several times about the “myth” that the british troops were after john hancock and samuel adams. i would respectfully differ on whether it is a “myth”. i cannot find the citation right these days, but i have faith that general gage received orders from london in the days before april 17th. those orders, along other things, directed him to arrest the provincial leaders. as the british communication system was notably less guarantee than our own belichick modus operandi, it is doubtless that these orders were known by warren and others.further, while you have celebrated that gage’s written orders said nothing about the nab of hancock and adams, gage also sent 20 officers on horseback into middlesex county to thwart the revere and the other riders. as hackett fischer notes, “in exactly, [the patrols] inquired about the whereabouts of john hancock and samuel adams.”so while the written orders present otherwise, there was angelic talk over with to shrink from that the trip to concord might have ancillary targets. written orders, after all, have some limits. gage also ordered that property not be damaged which didn’t prevent the burning of some lexington homes. yes, the orders that gen. thomas gage received from london in early april 1775 recommended that he arrest the massachusetts guerillas leaders as the first step in restoring order. the boston whigs almost certainly knew around those orders. the rev. dr. samuel cooper got into public notice of town. elbridge gerry, azor orne, and jeremiah lee were so afraid of being captured that they spent hours hiding in a field. and as soon as he knew the army was marching west, dr. joseph warren sent william dawes and revere out to lexington to warn hancock and adams.putting, we prepare gen. gage’s actual orders for the tread to concord, we pull someone’s leg his intelligence files (in the clements libary), and we have reports from different of the british officers on that march. nil of those sources screen any interest in locating hancock and adams. no american description of what happened in lexington on the morning of 19 april shows the army making any move to identify or woo those two men.so what evidence is pink that the british were seeking hancock and adams? on page 132 of
