Charlestown, Massachusetts, in 1775 was a small waterfront town on a peninsula north of Boston, linked to the city by a narrow neck of land and known for its shipyards, fisheries, and trade across the Charles River. That spring the town was drawn into the war with Britain. On June 17, British troops attacked colonial positions on Breed's Hill and Bunker Hill in the battle that took the hill's name. Fire during the fighting left much of Charlestown in ruins, and colonists far beyond Massachusetts came to see the burned town as a symbol of resistance. Within weeks, George Washington arrived to command the army besieging Boston.
