It was now the early spring of 1775, and the day of battle w r as at hand. THE BEGINNING. 259 CHAPTER II. THE BEGINNING. AS soon as the intentions of General Gage were manifest, the people of Boston, concealing their ammunition in cart-loads of rubbish, conveyed it to Concord, sixteen miles away. Gage detected the move ment, and on the night of the 18th of April despatched a regiment of eight hundred men to destroy the stores. Another purpose of the expe dition was to capture John Hancock and S...amuel Adams, who were sup posed to be hidden at Lexington or Concord. The fact was that they were not hidden anywhere, but were abroad encouraging the people. The plan of the British general was made with great secrecy ; but the patriots were on the alert, and discovered the movement. 2. About midnight the regiment, under command of Colonel Smith and Major Pitcairn, set out for Concord. The people of Boston, Charles- town and Cambridge were roused by the ringing of bells and the firing of cannons.
