Storyline
The "April Morning" here is the famous April 19, 1775 upon which the "Shot heard 'round the world" was fired, signaling the start of the American Revolution. Faithful to author Howard Fast's somewhat revisionist view that the skirmishes between the Colonial militia and the British troops in Lexington and Concord (Massachusetts) were precipitated as much by fervent American patriots led by Solomon Chandler as by any "Redcoat" belligerence. Written by Robert James O'Brien <Robert.O'Brien@fct-cf.x400.gc.ca>

Trivia
This was also the title and subject of the last film project of John Ford, but it is not clear whether the script was the one which Ford tried to make. There were other connections between James Lee Barrett and Ford, most notably that Barrett wrote the script of the TV remake of Ford's Stagecoach ( Stagecoach). See more »Goofs
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): The rider spreading the alarm that the British Regulars were on their way pronounced the name of the town Concord as "Conn-chord" while most of the rest of the cast correctly pronounced it as "Con-curd". See more »
