Battle of Bunker Hill Monument in Bostoen

Dedicated in 1843 the 221 foot obelisk commemorates the American Revolution's first battle.When British regulars attacked Provincial soldiers on June 17, 1775 during the Battle of Bunker Hill, they did not execute their attacks as planned. Poor intelligence regarding the Charlestown Peninsula was one reason why the British attacks almost failed.
