Excerpt from History of the Battle of Breed's Hill Having for years been satisfied that the accounts of Breed's Hill Battle, as given by Gordon, Warren, Ramsey and Marshall, are defective and imperfect, I have been induced to publish the transaction of that memorable event, as given by four American Major Generals, who were either in the action or had the best possible opportunities of being fully acquainted with the details of it. And who from their profession were better qualified to give a full and fair narrative, than any others who have undertaken it. To which are added the depositions of a number of highly respectable gentlemen who were eye witnesses of and partakers of the glory of that proud day. The following sheets, it is believed, will give a more full and accurate view of the troops engaged, by whom commanded, and all the transactions of the day, than any narrative extant. My objects are truth and justice to the living and the dead. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.
