About this episode
Following the start of the American Revolution at the Battle of Lexington and Concord, the colonists took up arms, besieging the British army in Boston. The first real contest of arms would take place three month later at Bunker Hill. Despite making some rookie mistakes, they held their own. In this episode, we discuss the events of that day - with the help of Michael Troy of the American Revolution Podcast. This is the story of the Battle of Bunker Hill.
