-  Thomas Paine

The American Crisis, Number 4,

12th September 1777

 

 

Battle of Bunker Hill

   The first major battle of the American Revolution was fought on the heights overlooking Boston Harbor at Breed’s and Bunker hills on 17th June 1775. From fortified positions, the Americans repulsed two British charges. On the third charge, the Americans ran out of gunpowder and were driven from their positions.

   Joseph Warren was a famous physician and patriot who had volunteered to fight as a private.  John Trumbull witnessed the assault that resulted in Warren’s death from his post four miles away at Roxbury.  This painting was his first Revolutionary canvass to glorify the war’s first great battle.
