Drawn by an engineer who served on the staff of General William Howe, this plan records the ground of the June 17, 1775, battle, which was fought mostly on Breed's Hill rather than the hill it is named for. Lieutenant Page's survey shows the fortified colonial positions and the slopes the British troops had to cross under fire. The British took the hill, but only after heavy losses among the attacking regiments, and the sketch helps explain why the colonial line was so hard to dislodge. James H. Stark reprinted the plan in his 1907 book of Boston views.
