COURTESY OF DAR OLD CONCORD CHAPTER Due to the pandemic the Old Concord Chapter National Society Daughters of the American Revolution decided to celebrate Patriots Day via Zoom with guest speaker, J. L. Bell. Bell has written the book “The Road to Concord: How Four Stolen Cannon Ignited the Revolutionary War.”  In the past OCC has celebrated Patriots Day by participating in Concord’s Patriots Day parade. The patriot involvement with the Royal Military’s brass cannons started on September 7, 1774 when two brass cannons were removed from the royal military’s Charlestown battery by patriots. The brass cannons were more valued than the heavier cast iron cannons making them more maneuverable on a battlefield. Also, cast iron cannons internally corroded and when they failed, their shrapnel would spread out like a bomb seriously injuring or killing those nearby. The brass cannons were thus a loss to the royal military.
