The soldiers who had marched so proudly, keeping step to the drumbeat in the morning, were running now. No hurrah went up as at sunrise on Lexington Common. There was no halting at Buckman's tavern, where they had fired their first volley. Their ranks were in confusion.

He walked into it at night, pitch black, snakes, alligators and started swimming. He made it." Gino shook his head. "After he got out of the Army, he went back to the university and got a job at IBM. He was O.K. until one night at Buckman's. Eddie's father is a builder, and some of his crew were in there. They got on him. "'Hey Eddie, like that neon tan, Eddie!

The Buckman Tavern, where the patriots assembled, built in 1690, still stands with its marks of bullets and flood of old associations. These ancient hostelries Monroe's, Buckman's, Wright's in Concord, and the Wayside Inn are by no means the least interesting features of this historic section.

At five o'clock we arrived there, and a number of people, I believe between two and three hundred, formed on a common in the middle of the town." The bell and the drumbeat, the lights in Buckman's tavern and the other houses, the minute-men in line by the meetinghouse, had quickened the imagination of the excited Britishers.

To judge how much, in the case of any variation, we should attribute to the direct action of heat, moisture, light, food, &c., is most difficult: my impression is, that with animals such agencies have produced very little direct effect, though apparently more in the case of plants. Under this point of view, Mr. Buckman's recent experiments on plants are extremely valuable.

Once more across the Mystic on to Menotomy, past the meetinghouse and the houses of the slumbering people, up the hill, along the valley, to Lexington Green; past the meetinghouse, not halting at Buckman's tavern, but pushing on, leaping from his foaming steed and rapping upon Mr. Clark's door.
