During the whole affair the Rebels attacked us in a very scattered, irregular manner, but with perseverance & resolution, nor did they ever dare to form into any regular body. Indeed, they knew too well what was proper, to do so. Whoever looks upon them as an irregular mob, will find himself much mistaken. They have men amongst them who know very well what they are about, having been employed as Rangers against the Indians & Canadians, & this country being much covered with wood, and hilly, is very advantageous for their method of fighting.
From what I know the piece at Wiki is pretty accurate.

The musket that fired the very first shot of the American Revolution is displayed at the National Museum of Military Vehicles in Dubois, Wyoming. It is certified to be genuine and it cost the owner $500,000.
First shot fired by an American, I can see; if they say it fired THAT first shot, I'd want to know how they determined it.
