The defence of Breed's Hill, Prescott in the redoubt, 1775 (c1880). Colonel William Prescott watching the construction of the rebel fortifications at Breed's Hill before the Battle of Bunker Hill. Although the British won the battle, they suffered heavy casualties and were unable to break the rebel siege of Boston. The battle proved that the Colonial militia was capable of standing up to the British regular army. A print from Cassell's History of the United States, by Edmund Ollier, Volume II, Cassell Petter and Galpin, London, c1880.
