Excerpt from Bunker Hill: The Story Told in Letters From the Battle Field by British Officers Engaged Borne over the Atlantic, to the closing ear of Louis, King by the grace Of God, what sounds are these; muffled, ominous, new in our centuries? Boston Harbor is black with unexpected Tea; behold a Penn sylvanian Congress gather; and ere long, on Bunker Hill, democracy an nouncing, in rifle-volleys death-winged. Under her Star Banner, to the tune of Yankee-doodle-doo, that she is born, and, whirlwind-like, will envelop the whole world! Carlyle.
