[WASHINGTON, George (1732-1799)]. The Shrewsbury Chronicle; or, Wood’s British Advertising Gazette. General Washington and the Battle of Bunker Hill. Shrewsbury: T. Wood, 12 August 1775. 4pp., folio (464 x 305 mm), tax stamp, old spine residue and separation, light marginal toning. The Battle of Bunker Hill took place on 17 June 1775, during the early stages of the American Revolutionary War. Contrary to its name, most of the fighting occurred on Breed’s Hill, near Bunker Hill, on the outskirts of Boston. The battle unfolded as colonial militias sought to fortify their position overlooking Boston and prevent British forces from gaining strategic advantages. Although the British ultimately claimed victory, the battle proved to be a significant moral boost for the American forces. Under the command of General Israel Putnam and Colonel William Prescott, the American militia displayed remarkable resilience and inflicted heavy casualties on the British, who were led by Major Generals William Howe, Sir Henry Clinton, and John Burgoyne. The famous order given to the American troops, “Don’t fire until you see the whites of their eyes,” highlighted the colonists’ limited ammunition and their determination to make each shot count.
