Learn Moreabout PBS online sponsorshipThe Minutemen.
Minutemen were a small, handpicked elite force that were highly mobile and able to assemble quickly, typically under age 25, chosen for their enthusiasm, reliability, and physical strength.
They were the first armed militia to arrive or await a battle.
Without these “ready and a minutemen”, Our history may have been very different.
