Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from General Israel Putnam: The Commander at Bunker Hill The writer did not purpose to renew the old controversy as to the officer entitled to be considered first in command at the battle of Bunker Hill; at the same time, he did not mean to be silent, if the subject should again become one of discussion. In the brief sketch which precedes the narratives of British officers present at the battle, he felt that he could not appropriately enter upon the question of command, for the reason assigned, and because a simple declaration, if unsupported by argument or authority, would count for nothing more than an expression of opinion. The subject having been revived in the interest of Colonel Prescott as the commander in the battle, and the writer having seen that after this long silence the claim of Colonel Prescott was urged as if there were really no longer any question of his title, nor a claimant who might successfully dispute it, he now feels the time to have arrived to enter his emphatic protest against both assumptions. There is a wide difference between the command of a particular post on a battle-field, to which an officer is assigned by the order of a superior, and the command of a field of battle which embraces other positions of perhaps equal importance.
