Description	English: From http://www.nps.gov/mima/education.htm. Photograph of The Minute Man, a statue by Daniel Chester French erected in 1875 in Concord, Massachusetts. Although French had made sketches of some descendants of Isaac Davis, the first colonial killed during the fight at the North Bridge, April 19, 1775 (who was also the commander of the Acton Minute Men, one of the companies that fought there), French later wrote that he meant to depict in his statue the typical minute man of 1775. The first stanza of Emerson's Concord Hymn is inscribed at the base. The statue is located in Minute Man National Historical Park. It is commonly called the Concord Minuteman, and is often confused with Captain John Parker of the Lexington Militia in Lexington by the English sculptor Henry Hudson Kitson, from 1899.
