        (2/5) On 19 April 1775, the Red Coats came marching through Whittemore’s hometown of Menotomy on their way to Boston after the Battles of Lexington and Concord. Whittemore positioned himself behind a stone wall, and then single-handedly engaged the entire British 47th Regiment.pic.twitter.com/CddgqgQLv1

        (3/5) After killing one soldier with a musket, he then drew his dueling pistols, killed a second grenadier, and mortally wounded a third. By the time Whittemore had fired his third shot, a British detachment had reached his position. Whittemore drew his sword and attacked.pic.twitter.com/953ALlwmOb

        (4/5) Whittemore was shot through the face by a 69-caliber bullet, knocked down, and bayonetted 13 times. He was later found by colonial forces trying to load his musket to resume the fight. He was taken to Dr. Cotton Tufts of Medford, who thought Whittemore was as good as dead.pic.twitter.com/Pn1ZvG1AUM

        (5/5) Whittemore recovered and lived another 18 years until dying of natural causes. He’s buried in the Old Burial Ground in Arlington, MA. (Photo: Katie Turner Getty). I think you’ll agree, he is definitely worthy of the title HISTORICAL BADASSpic.twitter.com/HWQJ2QdTVy

        That is in Arlington Mass right. Because I'm pretty sure I walked past it on the way to the library or the food master every day
