Imagine a single small town where the “shot heard ’round the world” sparked a military revolution – followed decades later by a literary one. Concord, Massachusetts, is not just a scenic New England village; it is the cradle of the American mind. In History Hit’s special seasonal film, Big Stories from a Small Town: The Real Lives Behind Little Women and Walden, Dan Snow explores the extraordinary heritage of this remarkable town that nurtured a cluster of great American writers and thinkers, particularly in the 19th century, including literary giants like Louisa May Alcott and Henry David Thoreau.
