To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I will just give you a short account of the part of the action where I was particularly concerned. We landed close under Charlestown, and formed with the 47th regiment close under the natural defences of the redoubt, which we drove the enemy from, climbing over rails and hedges. So we closed upon them ; but when we came immediately under the work, we were checked by the severe fire of the enemy, but did not retreat an inch. We were now in confusion, after being broke several times in getting ov...er the rails, &c. I did all I could to form the two companies on our right, which at last I effected, losing many of them while it was performing. Major Pitcairne was killed close by me, with a captain and a subaltern, also a sergeant, and many of the privates ; and had we stopped there much longer, the enemy would have picked us all off. I saw this, and begged Colonel Nesbitt, of the 47th, to form on our left, in order that we might advance with our bayonets to the parapet. I ran from right to left, and stopped our men from firing ; while this was doing, and when we had got in tolerable order, we rushed on, leaped the 30 BUNKER HILL.
