What were Lincoln's contributions?* *When the alarm went out on April 19, 1775, Lincoln’s minute and militia companies — more than 100 men in all — were the first to arrive in Concord, to aid in the defense of American liberty at the North Bridge.* *During the war, at least 255 Lincoln men and boys, ages 11 to 68, did military service — roughly eighty percent of all military-age men of the town. Among them were more than a dozen enslaved and free Black soldiers. Indeed, the only Lincoln family to lose two sons in the war was the free Black family of Peter and Margrett Oliver.* *Not all of Lincoln’s men were patriot soldiers, however; at least **four served on the loyalist side.* *To learn more about Lincoln's history, visit The Lincoln Historical Society's website,* www.lincoln historical society.org <http://www.lincolnhistoricalsociety.org>.
