Who was the Commander at Bunker Hill? / With Remarks on Frothingham's History of the Battle

The pamphlet challenges a recent history's portrayal of the militia and examines evidence about who held command during the battle. The author defends the organized nature of the New England forces, disputes claims that Putnam lacked authority, and acknowledges Prescott's role at the redoubt while arguing it did not make him commander of the entire engagement. He critiques errors in earlier accounts and maps, analyzes contemporary reports and correspondence, and weighs witness lists and orders to clarify command relationships and battlefield positions. The appendix and detailed commentary aim to resolve rival claims without diminishing either officer's reputation.
