Isaac Davis (February 23, 1745 – April 19, 1775) was a gunsmith and a militia officer who commanded a company of Minutemen from Acton, Massachusetts, during the first battle of the American Revolutionary War. In the months leading up to the Revolution, Davis set unusually high standards for his company in terms of equipment, training, and preparedness. His company was selected to lead the advance on the British Regulars during the Battle of Concord because his men were entirely outfitted with bayonets. During the American advance on the British at the Old North Bridge, Davis was among the first killed and was the first American officer to die in the Revolution. Davis is memorialized through the Isaac Davis Monument on the Acton Town Common. He was also the inspiration behind The Minute Man (1875), the sculpture at the Old North Bridge by Daniel Chester French. The sculpture, which French attempted to model after Davis using photographs of Davis's descendants, is now an iconic national symbol. (en) Isaac Davis, né le 23 février 1745 à Acton et mort le 19 avril 1775 à Concord, est un patriote et milicien américain. Il a commandé une compagnie de minutemen aux batailles de Lexington et Concord, au début de la guerre d'indépendance des États-Unis. Au cours de l'avancée américaine sur les Britanniques au Old North Bridge, Davis a été parmi les premiers tués et a été le premier officier américain à mourir dans la Révolution américaine. Davis est notamment commémoré par la statue du Minute Man réalisée par Daniel Chester French à Concord au Massachusetts et par le Isaac Davis Monument d'Acton Town Common. La Garde nationale des États-Unis reprend cette statue de Davis pour son logotype. (fr) |
