WAR. 213 Bunker As if to do honor to the general thus given them, lml - the New England troops, just declared the conti- nental army, furnished a detachment of one thousand, under Colonel Prescott, to take possession of Bunker's Hill, a point of great importance to the lines around Boston. He, through a mistake assisted by the ardor of his character, threw up his redoubt upon Breed's Hill, an eminence con- siderably nearer to the town. Reenforced by a thousand men, the party completed their for...tifications in time to re- ceive the three thousand British troops assailing them from Boston. Twice was the advance of the enemy repelled ; but the failure of ammunition obliged the Americans to retreat, leaving one of their most heroic hearts, President and Major General Joseph Warren, dead upon the field. Four hundred and fifty of them in all were killed or wound- ed ; the British losing more than twice that number. The battle of Bunker Hill, as it was afterwards called, has been greatly magnified beyond the importance attached to it at the time.
