Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Particular Account of the Battle of Bunker, or Breed's Hill, on the 17th of June, 1775 As there have been several accounts, heretofore given, of the Battle of Bunker Hill, it may be thought unnecessary again to bring the subject before the public, and impossible to say any thing of importance, not to be found in former narratives. It may be observed, that some of those accounts have been found to be partial and incomplete; and that some were written, not so much for the purpose of giving a correct view of all the events, as to establish particular facts, before denied or doubted. It has been suggested that a more particular yet brief statement of that enterprize would be acceptable to the public at this time. Inquiries are often made on the subject, and are likely to be repeated, as a formal celebration of that ever-memorable event is soon to take place. The most correct and perfect account, which has been given, was by ColonelS. Swett, by way of Appendix to a second edition of the Life of General Israel Putnam, published about seven years ago. The design of the writer of the following narrative is to give a concise statement, and yet to record whatever is material and important. Having examined and compared all former accounts with diligence, and received some additional statements, he believes that it will not be considered a mere republication of other and earlier accounts. He has confined himself to the transactions of the day and the event, with reference only to some circumstances closely connected therewith; nor has he indulged in any remarks which belong more properly to the historian or to the orator.
