This is a card bought off E Bay and letting the world know about Maj John Buttrick. He was at the old North Bridge, and after the British fired there first volley, Killing all in the front row, Maj John Buttrick took charge and ordered the firing of the shot heard around the world. This was the first action of the United States Army, and the first call for Freedom. Maj John Buttrick is the most popular of our lines of Butricks. April 19, 1775.
