It’s so long ago, you might think there are no descendants left of those who fought at Bunker Hill in 1775, or at least those conscious of their ancestral connections. But they’re out there – and they’re rightly proud. WBUR’s Amanda Beland reports. … Fyi: My all-time favorite book about Bunker Hill is ‘Now We Are Enemies,’ by the late Thomas Fleming. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to learn more about the epic battle. Written 65 years ago, the  book is still widely available via used-book sales at Amazon and elsewhere.

Update – From the Globe: “Bostonians celebrate 250th anniversary of legendary Revolutionary War battle.”

Update II – 6.18.25. From NBC Boston: “‘They did it for their children’: Descendants honor soldiers in Battle of Bunker Hill.”
