"Bunker Hill: A Glimpse into the Revolutionary War" Step back in time to 1775, as we explore the iconic Battle through various historical artifacts and artworks. One such masterpiece is "Battle of Bunker Hill: oil on canvas, 1898" by Howard Pyle, which vividly captures the intensity and bravery displayed during this pivotal moment in American history. Joseph Warren stands tall on Bunker Hill, a courageous figure leading his fellow patriots against British forces. His unwavering determination can be seen in EVRV2A-00182, an image that transports us directly to that fateful day. To truly understand the significance of this battle, let's take a closer look at Boston itself. The city's bird's-eye view depicted in a chromolithograph from c1873 (MAP: BOSTON) reveals its strategic location and importance during the American Revolution. As we delve deeper into the heart of Boston, our attention turns to Colonel William Prescott statue below the imposing Bunker Hill Memorial. This memorial serves as a reminder of those who fought valiantly for freedom and independence (EVRV2A-00163). The spirit of patriotism embodied by these brave soldiers is further immortalized in James Mitan's steel engraving from 1801 after John Trumbull's painting. Their sacrifice reverberates through time as we stand before their monument (PREV2A-00094). The Battle was not without casualties; Major John Pitcairn met his fate on that historic day. A wood engraving from the 19th century depicts his death—a poignant reminder of lives lost during this struggle for liberty. Even amidst conflict, it is important to acknowledge both sides involved. The waist belt plate belonging to British soldiers from the 38th Regiment of Foot symbolizes their presence and role within this monumental event.
