The American Battlefield Trust has launched a new virtual field trip of Boston, Massachusetts, with St. Bonaventure's Dr. Chris Mackowski as host. 

 

Mackowski, a writing professor in the Jandoli School of Communication, takes viewers to such places as Lexington and Concord for "the shot heard 'round the world," the sites of the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party, and the Massachusetts Historical Society. 

 

The Trust's virtual field trip will be used by middle school and high school teachers across the country. The video (available here: https://www.battlefields.org/l...) will be the first of several from Boston that will be released over the new two months. 

 

Other virtual fields trips in the series, which will be available later this year, include Charleston, South Carolina; New Orleans, Louisiana; and Vicksburg, Mississippi.
