We stumbled upon this wonderful little tape purely by accident while doing the tourist thing in New England. When visiting the Lexington visitors center, we over heard the park rangers saying great things about this cassette, we bought one and must have listened to it a dozen times during the trip. The story of Paul Revere's ride and the battle of Lexington is truly a great one, and this tape makes listening to history fun and exciting. The kids love it (as do we) thought it is by no means a childrens product. It is apparently well researched and very well performed. We will be ordering some of the other items written by Jerry Robbins to see if they are of equal quality.

I live in the area and have been along Battle Road many times. This tape has really brought the historical events alive for me. I have since gotten the Plimouth tape and am eagerly looking forward to the rumored Gettysburg series.

We bought this tape because we thought it would be a good way to expose our kids to American history. The Colonial Radio folks seem to have a knack at making dry history lessons fun (we own a couple of their tapes). This particular production is not as flashy as some of their others, but it is none the less a good one. Unfortunately, my Father-in-Law is a history fanatic, and we have not seen the tape since his last visit. The family gives it a hearty four thumbs up.

We found this program many years ago while visiting the Battle Road visitor center/museum in Concord. We took a guided tour of the battle field and the park ranger recommended this tape as a great audio drama of the events that took place on April 19, 1775. To make a long story short, we listened to it many times while driving around on that vacation, and have continued to enjoy it. We are pleased to see that it is now on CD. If you love history and radio drama, you will enjoy this classic production. Really a perfect gift for a history buff, or a child needing to learn some American history in a pain free manner.
