Menotomy Casualties Tallied

When the fighting ended and counts were made, Menotomy proved the deadliest location of April 19. Forty British soldiers had been killed and many more wounded. Approximately twenty-five Americans died, including militia from multiple towns and civilians like Jason Russell. The bodies were gathered, the wounded tended. The stone walls and houses bore the marks of the fighting. More men died in this single stretch of road than in the famed battles at Lexington Green and Concord Bridge combined.
