It was 251 years ago today that Samuel Whittemore showed the world what he was made of. He is believed to be the oldest combatant in the American Revolutionary War. He ambushed a relief brigade during the Battles of Lexington and Concord. He used his musket and two pistols to kill three British soldiers during their retreat from the battles. He in turn was shot and bayoneted. He survived the attack.
