The Death of General Warren at the Battle of Bunker’s Hill.
British General Thomas Gage landed his troops on the
Charlestown Peninsula overlooking Boston, Massachusetts,
and lead them against Breed’s Hill, a fortified American
position just below Bunker Hill, on June 17, 1775.
As the British advanced in columns against the Americans,
American Colonel William Prescott reportedly told his men,
“Don’t one of you fire until you see the whites of their eyes!”
The British won the so-called Battle of Bunker Hill, and Breed’s
Hill and the Charlestown Peninsula fell firmly under British
control.
Despite losing their strategic positions, the battle was a morale-
builder for the Americans, convincing them that patriotic
dedication could overcome superior British military might.
