It was clearly sound military policy for the British to occupy bothDorchester and Charlestown Heights, at the first attempt of theAmericans to invest the city. As early as the middle of May, the Massachusetts Committee of Safety, aswell as the council, had resolved "to occupy Bunker Hill as soon asartillery and powder could be adequately furnished for the purpose, " anda committee was appointed to examine and report respecting the merits ofDorchester Heights, as a strategic restraint upon the g...arrison ofBoston. On the fifteenth of June, upon reliable information that the British haddefinitely resolved to seize both Heights, and had designated theeighteenth of June for the occupation of Charlestown, the same Committeeof Safety voted "to take immediate possession of Bunker Bill. " Mr. Bancroft states that "the decision was so sudden that no fitpreparation could be made, " Under the existing conditions, it was indeeda desperate daring, expressive of grand faith and self-devotion, worthyof the cause in peril, and only limited in its immediate and assuredtriumph by the simple lack of powder.
