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 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. Engraving by J.G. Von Muller, after the painting by John Trumbull
