LEXINGTON – The sound of cantering hooves on pavement, and an urgent shout – "The regulars are out! Grab your muskets!" – broke the silence of the chilly night air. In the darkness, a few lanterns aided a captivated crowd in seeing the silhouette of a horse and rider approaching.
In the wee hours of Sunday night and early Monday morning, Paul Revere, John Hancock, Samuel Adams, their female relatives and several dozen Minutemen, transported spectators back in time and brought Lexington's colonial yellow Hancock-Clarke house to life.
LONDON (AP) — A 2,000-year-old triumphal arch destroyed by the Islamic State group in Syria has risen again — in replica — in London's Trafalgar Square.
The Arch of Triumph in Palmyra formed part of one of the world's most extensive ancient archaeological sites. The ancient city, a UNESCO world heritage site, was among Syria's main tourist attractions before the civil war erupted in 2011.
