I don't really mean to rain on the parade with the gauntlet thing, and I know its not proper wikipedia style, but that story sounds very much like Stark thought he was being heroic and received a special reward when he was really getting the same treatment as anyone else would. I hope you don't just delete it outright, and I hope you edit it properly to cite James Axtell, The Invasion Within.
Washington may have arrived two weeks after Bunker Hill in July of 1775 but his emplacement of the cannon on Dorchester Heights,(brought from Ticonderoga in the snow), was not accomplished until the following winter. This manoeuvre in late winter or early spring of 1875-76 was the reason for the British evacuation of Boston in March of 1776; however they did not go south but north to Nova Scotia. I don't think any of the Ticonderoga cannon were moved to Bunker Hill, but I'm not sure.
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:NHemblem.jpg
Image:NHemblem.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
