Remembering Breed's Hill and Iowa’s Revolutionary Patriots
David V. Wendell reflects on the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill and notes Iowa as the final resting place for nineteen Revolutionary War soldiers. He highlights Nathan Fellows and family movements from New Hampshire to the Iowa Territory, the Evergreen Farm marker, and the 1940 relocation to Oak Hill Cemetery in Coralville. Wendell urges a salute at Oak Hill on Independence Day.
