the British, fell in West Cambridge. Smith's Address, p. 48. As many as four General Heath (Memoirs, p. 14) says, several of the militia (among whom was Isaac Gardner, Esq., of Brookline, a valuable citizen) imprudently posted themselves behind some dry casks, at Watson's Corner, and near to the road, unsuspicious of the enemy's flank-guard, which came behind them and killed every one of them dead on the spot. Neither Gardner nor the Cambridge men killed were of the militia; if any such were slain here, it increases by so much the number who fell in Cambridge. native citizens were killed on the southerly side of North Avenue, a few feet eastwardly frd during his life was remarkably comprehensive and accurate, and whose traditional lore was almost equivalent to authentic history.

XXVIII} 1775. April 19. flagged.— Below West Cambridge, the militia from Dorchester, Roxbury, and Brookline came up. Of these, Isaac Gardner of the latter place, one on whom the colony rested many hopes, fell about a mile west of Harvard college. The field pieces began to lose their terror, so that the Americans pressed upon the rear of the fugitives, whose retreat could not become more precipitate. Had it been delayed a half hour longer, or had Pickering with his fine regiment from Salem and Marblehead been alert enough to have intercepted them in front, it was thought that, worn down as they were by fatigue and exhausted
