Here’s more media coverage tied to the 250th anniversary of the start of the American Revolution, via the Globe, which dispatched a photographer to yesterday’s reenactment of the little-known Battle of Chelsea Creek in East Boston. … Some readers in the comments section express disappointment that the Globe didn’t provide more details about the battle. But judging by the lack of a reporter’s byline, I assume it was always meant to be just a photo-gallery package. Which is fine with me. I’m just glad they covered the event. … For history buffs, here’s a detailed description of the battle, which was more extensive than I thought. It’s also known as the Battle of Noddle’s Island, among other names, and much of the fighting did occur on Noddles. See colonial-era map above. … Also for history buffs: See GBH’s piece last week on the little-known “courthouse rebellions” of 1774.
