This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bibliography of Charlestown, Massachusetts and Bunker Hill The following pages show results of an effort made by the writer to ascertain the nature of what might be called the literature of his native town, - how the thoughts or affairs of those who have been born or resident in it have found an expression on printed pages. These results have been a surprise, a pleasure, and a satisfaction to him, and he trusts that they will be to others, - a surprise from the number and often the rarity of the works, which it is a pleasure to enumerate; and a satisfaction, joined with this pleasure, that their almost unexceptional characteristic is that of religious faithfulness, of patriotism, of help to charity, to education, or to good citizenship, and that there is so little that the authors would wish to efface. This general estimate, after a review, seems fairly and sufficiently to annote the collection. And this material does not make a merely local story, for it touches wider than local subjects, and also shows to some extent, representatively, what an old New England town - neither obscure nor preeminent - thought, did, witnessed, or produced, and through two and a half centuries has had put on many printed pages. It is not a mere dull list of things nearly passed away and forgotten, but an interesting story of growth from small beginnings to all we now enjoy; and one that illustrates how, on wider sphere and scale, far more widely spread populations have also been growing. It becomes, indeed, to a considerable extent an outline history of the intellectual and material life of the times and of the people. It shows how through much of the Colonial period the chief expression of thought was by the ministry, and religious, with little of the amusing, but something of the imaginative, and more of the historical; how the Revolution associated much writing with a place; how in the earlier period of the nation a wider variety of thought and of addresses was developed; how, for fifty years, the fervid emotions of the Fourth of July Oration were proclaimed, as in many of the greater and minor towns; how changing theological opinions grew; how political and educational and benevolent affairs became more prominent; how the press flourished; how general business enterprise expanded; and how literature increased in scope, and often in value.

Download or read book Bunker Hill written by Nathaniel Philbrick and published by Random House. This book was released on 2013-05-23 with total page 539 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What lights the spark that ignites a revolution? What was it that, in 1775, provoked a group of merchants, farmers, artisans and mariners in the American colonies to unite and take up arms against the British government in pursuit of liberty? Nathaniel Philbrick, the acclaimed historian and bestselling author of In the Heart of the Sea and The Last Stand, shines new and brilliant light on the momentous beginnings of the American Revolution, and those individuals – familiar and unknown, and from both sides – who played such a vital part in the early days of the conflict that would culminate in the defining Battle of Bunker Hill. Written with passion and insight, even-handedness and the eloquence of a born storyteller, Bunker Hill brings to life the robust, chaotic and blisteringly real origins of America.

Book excerpt: "Written with skill and suspense, it is an inspiring story that Americans can read with pride." - Chicago Tribune Here, from New York Times bestselling author Thomas Fleming, is the story of that June day in 1775 that made the American Revolution inevitable. Bunker Hill brings alive the stories of the men on both sides who fought on these steep slopes in the blazing heat of June and dispels the myths and distortions which have long clouded the battle. It shows how closely and tragically intertwined were the lives of these men who from this day would call themselves either British or American. The brother of General William Howe, the British commander, had died in Colonel Israel Putnam's arms near Fort Ticonderoga. Colonel William Prescott had fought beside General William Howe at the siege of Louisburg and had been offered a commission in the Royal Army for his valor. Now, only fifteen years after their joint victories as comrades in arms, Prescott and Putnam steadied their raw American troops with harsh advice to withhold their fire on the advancing British ranks until "you can see their buttons," or "the whites of their eyes." After the British forces came ashore, the battle opened with a deftly launched flanking movement by the British right. John Stark arrived with his New Hampshire men in time to predict the point at which Howe would first attack and to seal that gap with British dead - "I never saw sheep lie as thick in the fold." Howe did not pause to maneuver but assaulted the American fortifications along the whole front. The young farmers did not give way, and the British reeled back. "There was a moment," Howe, a veteran and victor of many battles against the French in Europe and North America, recalled later, "that I never felt before." But the British doggedly advanced again up the murderous hill in the ninety-degree heat. The forces that impelled these men to that terrible moment of battle and the courage of both sides are the powerful substance of Bunker Hill.
