Description:

More than 1,200 New Hampshire men participated in the Battle of Bunker Hill. Led by Colonel John Stark of Derryfield and Major Andrew McClary of Epsom, they manned a fence along the base of the hill. They stopped two assaults and inflicted heavy casualties on the British before being forced to withdraw with their powder almost spent. Ninety-three New Hampshire men were reported killed, missing or wounded, yet General Burgoyne declared their retreat 'covered with bravery and military skill.'
