Bunker Hill, Death of General Warren, 1775

The Battle of Bunker Hill was a battle fought on June 17, 1775, during the Siege of Boston in the early stages of the American Revolutionary War. The battle is named for Bunker Hill, which was peripherally involved in the battle, and was the original objective of both the colonial and British troops, though the vast majority of combat took place on the adjacent Breed's Hill. While the result was a victory for the British, the massive losses they encumbered discouraged them from any further sorties against the siege lines; 226 men were killed with over 800 wounded, including a large number of officers. The battle at the time was considered to be a colonial defeat; however, the losses suffered by the British troops gave encouragement to the colonies and became a symbol of American revolutionary zeal. Joseph Warren (1741-1775) was a patriotic American doctor and soldier who sent Paul Revere on his midnight ride to warn of the British raids. An engraving of the Battle of Bunker Hill by J.G. Von Muller, after the painting by John Trumbull. The original painting's full title is The Death of General Warren at the Battle of Bunker Hill.
