This plan of the action fought on June 17, 1775, maps the engagement at Charlestown, across the Charles River from Boston, where the battle is usually called Bunker Hill after the nearby height, though much of the fighting took place on Breed's Hill. British troops under General William Howe attacked the colonial lines several times before they took the hills, and the British won at a heavy cost in casualties. Printed plans like this one carried news of the fighting to readers in Britain and the colonies, and they remain useful for tracing how the troops moved across the ground.
