Bunker Hill, in Boston, was the approximate site of the first severe engagement of the Revolutionary War (June 17, 1775). The British attacked the newly constructed American fort on Breed's Hill, but were twice routed by the American defenders, who capitulated on the third charge, being out of powder. Although the battle was a British victory, American morale was strengthened by the demonstration of their small force. The battle is a frequent subject in American literature, as in Brackenridge's play
The Battle of Bunkers‐Hill, Cooper's novel
Lionel Lincoln, and J.W. De Forest's novel
A Lover's Revolt. A memorial obelisk has been erected on the site, the cornerstone being laid by Lafayette in 1825 and the monument completed in 1843, a famous speech by Daniel Webster being delivered on each occasion.
