Delete comment from: Boston 1775
Since April of that fateful year,
the enemies stood fast, but near.
"Towards Bunker Hill" the orders read,
but 'twas Breeds Hill they arrived instead.
As dawn broke through, the Brits first sight,
was of Prescott's work throughout the night.
Entrenchments made of stone and earth,
would decide the fate of a nation's birth.
A direct assault would set the course,
to try and take the hill en force.
With Stark's resolve and Warren's chances,
twice they held off Howe's advances.
With the third advance it was time to run,
yet the Brtis had lost and the Rebels won!
