Senior Moments

The actual battle took place on the adjoining Breed's Hill on the Charleston Peninsula. http://www.wpi.edu/Academics/Depts/MilSci/BTSI/Hill/ On June 15, 1775 the American colonists heard news that the British planned to control the Charleston peninsula between the Charles and Mystic Rivers. Bunker's and Breed's Hill on this peninsula overlooked both Boston and its harbor, thus making the hills critical vantage points. http://www.theamericanrevolution.org/battles/bat_bhil.asp [Added second reference - McG] May 26 02, 10:25 AM
