On the afternoon of April 19, as the people of Plymouth and Barnstable counties heard of the battles at Lexington and Concord, they mustered their militia and sent them. .. to Marshfield. We talk with Patrick Browne of the Plymouth Antiquarian Society about the "almost battle of Marshfield," the only town outside of Boston that had a detachment of Redcoats. We hear about why the British were in Marshfield, and what the militia did to force them, and Marshfield's many loyalists out. We also hear about other events on the South Shore, and about how Plymouth is commemorating its local heroine, Mercy Otis Warren.
