Touring the Top 25 Revolutionary War Sites: in Upstate New York and New England

If you want to learn a lot about the Revolutionary War in a short period of time and see some nice scenery along the way this book provides an itinerary to visit 15 Revolutionary War sites in upstate New York and 10 in the Boston area. Most of the travel is by car from one site to the next. The Boston sites require city walking. Three bicycle tours are also detailed, mostly off road.. The New York itinerary follows the flow of history from the British Fort at Crown Point in the north 85 miles south to the Saratoga Battlefield, about a 2 hour drive. The other sites are clustered in between, so the longest drive from one site to the next is rarely more than 20 miles, and as you get closer to the battlefield as little as a few miles.. The Boston area itinerary is more compact, starting in Concord, then moving on to Lexington and Bunker Hill, and ending up in the city itself.
