Seven hundred men were under the command of Lt.

Francis Smith when he set out from Lexington toward Concord in the early morning hours of April 19, 1775 to hunt suspected stores of munitions, especially at Barrett's farm about a mile west of the North Bridge. He had been ordered to secure the North and South Bridges to the town to guard against Militia attacks. Seven companies about 220 men were sent across the North Bridge. Three companies, 96 men, guarded the bridge while 4 companies went to search and destroy hidden munitions at Barrett's farm. Four Hundred militia held the high ground west of the North Bridge.

They came down to confront the British who fired on them from the other side. The militia then fired back and forced a British retreat. Some say this was Emerson's "shot heard round the world" but the shot had already been fired on Lexington Green by the British that started the war. Yet at the North Bridge this was the first time American colonists were ordered to fire on British soldiers. On Lexington Green the British firing on the militia gathered there scattered the militia.
