More about the Dawn Salute: 

Church bells at 1st Parish toll at 5:45 a.m. to sound the alarm.

“Dr. Prescott” arrives at the North Bridge after riding across the fields calling out the warning to towns and villages that the Regulars were on the march and that their destination was Concord. The Concord Minutemen fire salutes and the Concord Independent Battery fire several volleys from the field at the Old Manse.
