Text Appearing Before Image:
stop them yet! InGods name form and give them one shot more.This was at Bunker Hill, which he still hoped mightbe defended. But the soldiers pressed on past him.Halt, you damned cowards, he yelled, halt andgive them another shot. (Old Put apologizedlong afterwards to his church for the violent lan-guage he used at Bunker Hill. But it was enoughto make an angel swear, he declared, to see therascals run away from the British!) At last he took his stand near a field-piece andseemed determined to brave the foe alone. Histroops had left, and one cannot blame them. Onesergeant only dared to stand with Putnam; he wasshot down, and the enemys bayonets were just uponthe General when he retreated. The General is immortalized in this final standboth in picture and verse. Opposite page 216 youwill see a reproduction of a picture by Trumbull,where Putnam, in the rear, is waving his sword atthe enemy. Joel Barlow, a Yale graduate whowrote the Vision of Columbus, soon after theRevolution, says: 216
Text Appearing After Image:
BUNKER HILL There strides bold Putnam, and from all the plains.Calls the third host, the tardy rear sustains,And, mid the whizzing deaths that fill the air,Waves back his sword, and dares the following war. Putnams retreat marks the end of the Battle ofBunker Hill. The Americans had lost the battle,but they had gained a victory. They had provedtheir mettle; they had forced the British back againand again, and given the British officers such anopinion of their valor and marksmanship that manytimes afterward during the Revolution the Englishgenerals, especially Howe, hesitated to attack whenthej might have done so. At White Plains andat the Battle of Brooklyn Heights the influence ofBunker Hill was felt, and prevented American de-feat. The Battle of Bunker Hill encouraged wav-ering Americans to join the patriot side, and heart-ened all the colonies. Howe might well have saidwith the general of old, Another such victory, andwe are undone! I wish we could sell them another hill at thesame
