Battle At Bunker Hill

Yes, That is a Local Company on TV

2. You history buffs already know that a new book on the Battle of Bunker Hill was published this spring , but it was news to me until I saw a review in this Sunday's Globe. The review says that Paul Lockhart's book, "White's of Their Eyes: Bunker Hill, the First American Army and the Emergence of George Washington," makes a strong case for something else history buffs already know: that the most important aspect of the battle on Breed's Hill was the emergence of an independent American army.

Battle of Bunker Hill: June 17, 1775 | richardhowe.com

Yesterday was the anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill. The battle is noteworthy because it was the first major engagement between the colonial militia and the British troops. Eight weeks earlier, an intense fight had occurred at Lexington, Concord and on the route back to Boston, but while those who participated in that engagement knew it was real combat, others – particularly many in England and those in the southern American colonies – viewed the April 19, 1775 episode as an unfortunate accident. Relations between England and the American colonies they believed could still be salvaged. After Bunker Hill, however, with its heavy casualties on both sides and the demonstrated willingness of the Americans to fight the British in a classic battle setting, the point of no return was passed and everyone became committed to an all-out war.

The plaque pictured above hangs in Boston’s Old North Church. It marks the death of British Major John Pitcairn who ironically was the on-scene commander of the British detachment that opened fire on the Lexington Minutemen on April 19.
