![Revolutionary War Veteran Diaries Before and After the Battle of Bunker Hill
As part of our #ArchivesRoadToRevolution exhibition, we’re highlighting two Revolutionary War veteran diaries that document the American militia’s activities in the Boston area before and after the Battle of Bunker Hill.
On the night before the battle, Jehiel Stewart noted in his journal, this night our men went to in trenchen on Doggesster [Dorchester] point.
When the British awoke on June 17, 1775, to find American fortifications within cannon range, they immediately mobilized for battle.
The Battle of Bunker Hill is also documented in Peter Brown’s 1832 pension application testimony. He recalled, we drove back the enemy twice but we were obliged to retreat after running low on ammunition.
The British military secured Breed’s Hill after two failed assaults under heavy American musket fire.
