Bunker Hill National Monument - MA
"Don't fire until you see the whites of their
eyes!" This legendary order has come to symbolize the conviction and
determination of the ill-equipped American colonists facing powerful British
forces during the famous battle fought on this site on June 17, 1775. The battle
is popularly known as "The Battle of Bunker Hill" although most of the fighting
actually took place on Breed's Hill, the site of the existing monument and
exhibit lodge. Today, a 221-foot granite obelisk marks the site of the first
major battle of the American Revolution.
