The Battle of Bunker Hill—mostly fought on nearby Breed's Hill—ended as a costly British victory despite American shortages of ammunition. He opens with "It's American rewind" and lays out how Americans were running low on gunpowder as British troops moved in near Boston that June. Muskets cracked and smoke filled the fields as the first two British attacks failed, and by the third try the Americans barely had enough to defend the hill. He recounts the famed order, "Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes," and underscores the shocking carnage, quoting a British officer who vowed the sight "will never be erased out of my mind to the day of my death." He signs off plainly as James A. Brown, keeping the narration sober and direct while urging listeners to be well.
