This battle’s initial frontal assault was led by John Pitcairn, who fell and died in his son’s arms. A general in this battle refused to take a strategically important “Neck” due to his belief that his forces would prevail regardless over a “rabble.” The initial stages of this battle were largely obscured by smoke from fires set in (*) Charlestown. This battle was prompted by Artemas Ward’s order to Israel Putnam to construct a redoubt in the aftermath of Henry Clinton and John Burgoyne’s arrival. During this battle, forces led by William Prescott inflicted a Pyrrhic victory on Thomas Gage. For 10 points, name this early Revolutionary War battle that was largely fought around Breed’s Hill. ■END■
