The first book written about the Battle of Waterloo was written in 1816, a year after the battle. The last book written about the Battle of Waterloo was published in 1999. The battle was decisive and very bloody. There were nearly as many casualties in the one-day of fighting than the three days of Gettysburg or seven years of the War in Vietnam.

This was the opening battle of the American Revolution. British troops led by General Thomas Gage were moving from Boston toward Lexington and Concord to capture the rebel leaders Samuel Adams and John Hancock and destroy their military supplies. The colonists were warned when Paul Revere made his famous midnight ride, shouting, “The British are coming!” At Lexington and Concord, armed colonists called Minutemen resisted the British. Ralph Waldo Emerson later wrote a poem describing this conflict as “the shot heard round the world.” The fighting ended almost a year later, when the British evacuated Boston. On July 4, 1776, representatives from the 13 colonies signed the Declaration of Independence to gain their freedom from Great Britain.
