ul---'f BATTLE QF' BUNKER,S HILL 'DONT SHOOT UNTIL YOU SEE THE WI-IITES OF THEIR EYES Battle Of Bunleefs Hill byjobn Trumbull, Yale University Art Gallery n the era prior to our country's independence, rebellion against the Crown existed amongst rag-tag forces scattered across the new colonies. Skirmishes with the British had been fought, but colonial united and victories were few and far between. This situation, however, was soon forces were seldom to change. It was a dark night as 900 farmers ascended Breed's Hill in Charlestown, Massachusetts. Under the unsuspecting eyes of the British Royal Navy anchored in the harbor below, the colonials dug up the rocky New England soil through the night and nearly completed an earthern redoubt as daylight began to filter over Boston Harbor. The sun had not broken the Eastern horizon for five minutes when the much surprised British Navy realized what had transpired during the night. Immediately, cannon fire was directed upon the fortified Breed's Hill and Redcoat troops appeared at its foot. As the King's soldiers stormed towards the courageous band of patriots, an order was shouted MD 't fire until ou see the whites of their eyes! out by the band's leader, Colonel William Prescott - on y This bold strategy by the Americans deterred two British assaults on the hill, but a third assault found them out of ammunition and forced into retreat. Though they lost the battle, the Americans still gained a victory. Forces from all over New England had banded together as a fighting team and proved to the world they could stand up to the King's highly trained soldiers. The British casualties were high - 226 dead 828 wounded. The American fight for inde endence from English rule gained world attention and support as a result of the British f'victory. P The Battle of Bunkeris Hill sparked a revolutionary spirt, united the rebel forces, and made freedom an achievable goal. EY T A iall A A .l.fl Q fl?52252554Eff?Qif-iiilpsf?Effi -
