Good evening im the exec difficult director of the society of the cincinnati. Its my inestimable is pleasure to introduce our speak this evening. This is his book, he is going to talk to us about it. The book is the road to concord. Or how four stolen cannon ignited the revolutionary war. He will defend that premise for us a bit later, but i want to tell you what my reaction to this book is. Ive had the opportunity to read it already. Its one of three books i read cover to cover. I dont read it quickly. The reason is, first, it is extremely well written. It is graceful prose of an oldfashioned sort, and it is wonderfully researched, what i was taught in graduate school to refer to as a revisionist work of history, that is all good works of history if theyre original are revisionist in some way, but hes telling us a new story about the coming of the revelation in massachusetts.

I want to tell you what my reaction to this book is because i have had the opportunity to read it already. It is one of three books in the last 20 years i read cover to cover in one sitting. I dont read quickly. The reason i read it cover to cover in one sitting is it is extremely well written. It is graceful prose of an oldfashioned sort.

And the second thing is, it is indicative of the emergence of what i think is a new sort of history writing or a new kind of history research. In ways itossible was not possible 20 years ago to andarch t
Brad bell on the scene. What happened there . Brad a crazy scene. This is the car you are talking about. You can see the red car crashed on a tree stump. The man inside the car in the drivers seat was apparently shot in an incident that began about 100 yards down there. We know at this point there was a shooting. The victim was in the car and he was in an accident and is in serious condition. But not life threatening injuries. They are look for clues but we dont believe anyone has been apprehended.

An emerging recognition that some laws to discriminate against the marginalized, the in this case, the most vulnerable members of our society. We know better now. There is no reason to treat people this way. We ask that you affirm. Stanyar. Ou ms. Just a few quick points, your honor. Our society has a mechanism for change. That is the amendment process. Due process is not a mechanism for change, it is a mechanism for preserving things that are deeply rooted in history. Theres the amendment process that is available at the federal and state level. That is for example, there are six things on the ballot in 2012 through the initiative process. There are six different measures. That goes to the point that there is a state that is conferred.
