Uniquely American Concord, Massachusetts — Video Dispatch

by Editor / Monday, August 19 2024 / Published in Dispatches from the Road

Traveling through New England this spring, Clay spent a morning in Concord, Massachusetts. Located northeast of Boston, Concord has deep roots in American history and culture. On April 19, 1775, British troops clashed with colonialists here, which helped trigger the American Revolutionary War. In the mid-1880s, Concord became a dynamic literary hub that included such writers as  Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne,  Henry David Thoreau, and Louisa May Alcott.
