About this book
The Battle of Bunkers-Hill is a work by H. H. Brackenridge. The contents list includes a prologue, a list of dramatis personæ, Act I through Act V, an epilogue, an ode, a speech and a military song. The text says that the battle of Bunker's Hill was an event which stirred whatever dramatic activity there was in America at the time of the Revolution.
The text says that one might very readily understand that Brackenridge was less the poet, even though in some ways he may have been more versatile as a writer. The verse says that fair honour waits, renown abroad and high dominion o'er this Continent, soon as the spirit of rebellious war is scourg'd into obedience. A passage of verse calls it an auspicious day of happiness unmix'd, when this fair City, without blood-shed won, receives to her sweet bosom, once again, her free-born sons.
