The whole of our troops now descended the north-west declivity of Bunker Hill, and recrossed the neck, the New-Hampshire line towards Winter Hill, and the others on to Prospect Hill. Some slight works were thrown up in the course of the evening; strong advance pickets were posted on the roads leading to Charlestown, and the troops, antici- pating an attack, rested on their arms.
It is a most extraordinary fact, that the British did not make a sin- gle charge during the battle, which, if attempted, would have proved fatal and decisive, as the Americans did not carry fifty bayonets into the field; in my company, there was but one. Soon after the com- mencement of the action, a detachment from the British force in Bos- ton landed in Charlestown, and within a few moments the whole town was in a blaze. A dense column rose to a great height, and, there being a gentle breeze from the south-west, it hung like a thunder-cloud over the contending armies. A very few houses escaped the dreadful conflagration of this devoted town.
From similar mistakes, the field ammunition furnished for the field- pieces was calculated for guns of larger caliber, which prevented the use of field-artillery on both sides. There was no cavalry in either army.
From the ships of war, and a large battery on Copp's Hill, a heavy cannonade was kept up upon our line and redoubt, from the commence- ment to the close of the action, and during the retreat; but with little effect, except killing the brave Maj. Andrew McClary, of Col. Stark's regiment, soon after we retreated from Bunker Hill.
He was among the first officers of the army; possessing a sound judgment, of undaunted bravery, enterprising, ardent, and zealous, both as a patriot and soldier. His loss was severely felt by his com- patriots in arms, while his country was deprived of the services of one of her most promising and distinguished champions of liberty.
After leaving the field of battle, I met him and drank some spirit and water with him. He was animated and sanguine in the result of the conflict for independence, from the glorious display of valor which had distinguished his countrymen on that memorable day.
He soon observed that the British troops on Bunker Hill appeared
227

in motion, and said he would go and reconnoiter them, to see whether they were coming out over the Neck, at the same time directed me to march my company down the road towards Charlestown. We were then at Tufts's house, near Ploughed Hill. I immediately made a for- ward movement to the position he directed me to take, and halted, while he proceeded to the old pound, which stood on the site now occupied as a tavern-house, not far from the entrance to the Neck. After having satisfied himself that the enemy did not intend to leave their strong posts on the heights, he was returning towards me, and, within twelve or fifteen rods of where I stood with my company, a random shot from one of the frigates lying near where the center of Craigie's Bridge now is, passed directly through his body, and put to flight one of the most heroic souls that ever animated man.
He leaped two or three feet from the ground, pitched forward, and fell dead upon his face. I had him carried to Medford, where he was interred with all the respect and honors we could exhibit to the manes of a great and good man. He was my bosom friend; we had grown up together on terms of the greatest intimacy, and I loved him as a brother.
My position in the battle, more the result of accident than any regu- larity of formation, was on the right of the line, at the rail fence, which afforded me a fair view of the whole scene of action.
Our men were intent on cutting down every officer they could dis- tinguish in the British line. When any of them discovered one, he would instantly exclaim, " There ! see that officer ! let us have a shot at him !" Then two or three would fire at the same moment; and, as our soldiers were excellent marksmen, and rested their muskets over the fence, they were sure of their object. An officer was discovered to mount near the position of Gen. Howe, on the left of the British line, and ride towards our left, which a column was endeavoring to turn; this was the only officer on horseback during the day, and, as he ap- proached the rail fence, I heard a number of our men observe, " There! there ! see that officer on horseback; let us fire." "No; not yet; wait until he gets to that little knoll -now!" when they fired and he in- stantly fell dead from his horse. It proved to be Maj. Pitcairn, a dis- tinguished officer.
The fire of the enemy was so badly directed I should presume that forty-nine balls out of fifty passed from one to six feet over our heads ; for I noticed an apple-tree, some paces in the rear, which had scarcely a ball in it from the trunk and ground as high as a mau's head, while the trunk and branches above were literally cut to pieces.
I commanded a full company in action, and had only one man killed and five wounded, which was a full average of the loss we sustained,
228

excepting those who fell while sallying from the redoubt when it was stormed by the British column.
Our total loss in killed was eighty-eight, and, as well as I can recol- lect, upward of two hundred wounded. Our platoon officers carried fusees.
In the course of the action, after firing away what ammunition I had, I walked to the higher ground on the right, in rear of the redoubt, in expectation of procuring from some of the dead or wounded men who lay there a supply. While in that situation, I saw at some dis- tance a dead man lying near a small locust-tree. As he appeared to be much better dressed than our men generally were, I asked a man who was passing me if he knew who it was. He replied, " It is DR. WARREN."
I did not personally know Dr. Warren, but was acquainted with his public character. He had been recently appointed a general in our service, but had not taken command. He was president of the Provin- cial Congress, then sitting at Watertown, and, having heard that there would probably be an action, had come to share in whatever might happen, in the character of a volunteer, and was unfortunately killed early in the action. His death was a severe misfortune to his friends and country. Posterity will appreciate his worth and do honor to his memory. He is immortalized as a patriot who gloriously fell in the cause of freedom.
The number of our troops in action, as near as I was able to ascer- tain, did not exceed fifteen hundred. The force of the British at the commencement of the action was estimated at about the same num- ber, but they were frequently reinforced. Had our ammunition held out, or had we been supplied with only fifteen or twenty rounds, I have no doubt that we should have killed and wounded the greatest part of their army, and compelled the remainder to have laid down their arms ; for it was with the greatest difficulty that they were brought up the last time. Our fire was so deadly, particularly to the officers, that it would have been impossible to have resisted it but for a short time longer.
I did not see a man quit his post during the action, and do not be- lieve a single soldier who was brought into the field fled, until the whole army was obliged to retreat for want of powder and ball.
The total loss of the British was about twelve hundred : upward of five hundred killed, and between six and seven hundred wounded. The Welsh Fusileers suffered most severely ; they came into action five hundred strong, and all were killed or wounded but eighty-three.
It is mortifying to reflect, that neither the friends nor
229
HISTORY OF NOTTINGHAM.
the state have reared a monument to distinguish the resting- place of Maj. Andrew McClary from those of other un- honored dead around him. Generous, brave, and patriotic, he nobly hazarded his own life, and encouraged others to forget self, for the life of his country. His example was a power for good in the cause of freedom, and stimulated many to rush into the bloody strife. Hence the gratitude of the nation should in some way show itself, so that, in coming exigencies of the country, patriotism shall not be repressed through fear of unrewarded services.
-He who shall write a complete history of Dearborn and McClary will deserve much praise, and do a service much needed ; while he who shall constrain the state of McClary's nativity to rear some appropriate memorial-stone to denote his resting-place, and perpetuate the memory of so gallant an officer and generous a patriot, will deserve well of pos- terity.
All that New Hampshire has done to repay Maj. McClary's services has been to compensate for certain losses, to pay for his rude coffin and for digging his grave, as indicated by the following, copied from provincial papers : -

Is this all the monument New Hampshire is willing to rear the brave and gallant officer who fought in the battle of Bunker Hill on the 17th of June, 1775, and, having escaped its perils, was killed as he was returning from examining the position of the enemy, by a chance shot from a British man-of-war ?

" Some forty years ago Mr. Nealley established himself in Burlington, Ia., in the nursery business, remov- ing thither his widowed mother, one brother, and five sis- ters, of whom he took tender care as long as that care was needed. Through his skill and industry, the unattractive prairie became fruitful in shrubs and flowers of every variety, trees of the forest and of the orchard without number, and of brilliant exotics of every clime. While these enriched the landscape around him with elegance and fruitage, thou- sands of homes and gardens and fields throughout that re- gion, and over Iowa and the North-West, shared in the be- neficent results of his assiduous labor and care. He was methodical in business, and a lover of nature, and a friend of man. Having endeared himself to his family and a large circle of friends, he died June 5, 1878, and his body was laid by the side of the dust of his kindred, in the lot which, with the accustomed forethought and strong family feeling of his nature, he had prepared for them in Aspen- grove cemetery."
