The Battle of Bunker Hill

On June 17, 1775, British and patriot militia clashed on Breed's Hill. Although the battle would take the name of the other hill in the area, Bunker Hill, the engagement ended as a British victory.

Join Dr. Paul Lockhart, Professor of History at Wright State University and an author of a book on the battle, along with Emerging Revolutionary War historians to examine why.
