Charlestown, Massachusetts, sat on a peninsula across the Charles River from Boston in June 1775, when British troops held the city under siege following the fighting at Lexington and Concord that April. On June 17, American militia dug in on Breed's Hill, and British regulars attacked them in several bloody assaults before the defenders fell back. Much of Charlestown burned during the battle, destroying houses, wharves and businesses that had supported the town's trade. Joseph Warren, a prominent Massachusetts patriot leader, was among the Americans killed. The engagement became known as the Battle of Bunker Hill, though most of the fighting took place on the neighboring Breed's Hill.
