Remembering Bunker Hill Through Texans and Breed's Hill
Historians compare the Battle of Bunker Hill 200 years on to the Alamo noting shared revolutionary crys while detailing the Breed's Hill fortification. Ford Mitchell cites June 15 secret Congress action and June 16 officers meeting as the shift to Breed's Hill and describes earthwork digging and a British bayonet assault with heavy casualties. He notes a back door escape by defenders and highlights a Revolutionary Relic display in Briercroft Heritage Collection.
