"In which the honors of the Concord fight claimed by some late publications for Major Buttrick and other officers belonging to Concord, particularly so far as they are supposed to belong to the memory of Capt. Isaac Davis of Acton, who was killed in the engagement, are considered ; with some reasons why a proposed monument should not be placed over the two British soldiers who were buried in one grave at the North Bridge ; and some notice of the agitated question as to the place where the first resistance was made ; accompanied by the testimony of two of the surviving members of Capt. Davis's company and of his surviving widow ; and a map of the scene of the Concord fight, as it was at the time."

"Published by the request of a committee of the inhabitants of that town."
