What was minutemen?
From earliest colonial times every man in the colonies was a member of the militia from the age of 18 to 60. Tensions grew in the year or so before actual warfare broke out in the spring of 1775, especially in the area around Boston. Colonels of the militia regiments formed "Minute Companies" from among their commands, usually the younger, more physically fit men, who were to be ready to drop whatever they were doing and take their arms and equipment to a predesignated rendezvous, at a minutes notice. Hence Minutemen, a kind of rapid reaction force.They promised to be ready in a minute's notice.

Who was the well-trained volunteer soldier who was ready to fight against the Britist at a minutes notice?
They were not trained at all. Most were farmers with squirrel guns. They were good shots because they had to be to protect and feed their families. This is one reason they turned to guerrilla warfare. They were fighting the most powerful well equipped and trained army of their time. So, they used what they had to their advantage. They knew the land and places where they could ambush the army as it moved. Often the British had many wagons, horses and people to move. The officers brought with them china, carpets, furniture, and other items of comfort for their tents. These heavy wagons slowed the movement and allowed openings for the colonial army to attack. The idea that they were ready to fight in a minute is mainly a modern idea. They were more "sunshine" patriots because when time came for planting crops or harvest they left to take care of that instead of staying to fight. 90% of the country was farming so this was very important to them as the sole means of their source of income.
