On April 19, 1775, the “Shot that was heard around the world” was fired in Lexington signifying the start of the Revolutionary War in America. I had 4 of my 4th great-grandfathers fight in this war.
This kit is created to honor those who fought for our country’s independence, and hopefully it will make your heritage albums come alive with the stories about your ancestors who fought in this war. There were no cameras to record events, but there are beautiful paintings and sketches that have been preserved. I have included 4 full sized story pages for your stories as well as a couple of smaller journal papers and loads of elements from the colonial time of the war along with maps.16 background papers of scenes should make your layouts colorful and authentic.
