The Bunker Hill Monument, the granite obelisk seen here, rises on the Charlestown site of the battle fought on June 17, 1775, though the fighting actually took place mostly on nearby Breed's Hill. The monument's cornerstone was laid in 1825 with Lafayette present, and the shaft was not finished until 1842, so this 1843 view shows a landmark that had only just been completed. Its tall, plain form drew crowds from Boston across the harbor, and the anniversary of the battle became an occasion for public commemoration in the years that followed.
