  • Acton 250: Spies and Military Intelligence

    Acton Town Hall 472 Main St, Acton, MA, United States

    Noted author and historian John L. Bell will discuss the key role of military intelligence and spies before the momentous battle at Concord and how the colonials also effectively disseminated news of the outcome. Besides his writing, John maintains boston1775.blogspot.com/ , the Boston 1775 blog which offers daily helpings of history, analysis, and "unabashed gossip about Revolutionary New England".  This talk is the 14th in the series sponsored by the Acton 250 Committee leading up to April 19, 2025. All are welcome in Room 204 of Acton Town Hall. For recordings of prior Acton 250 lectures, see https://www.actonma.gov/803/Acton-250th-Events.
