The Battle of Bunker Hill

During the Battle of Bunker Hill, the first major battle against the British, the American militia showed a grit and determination that impressed all. Although the colonists did not hold the field, the Redcoats paid dearly for their gains.
Tom Hand, creator and publisher of Americana Corner, discusses how this battle unfolded, and why it still matters today.
