Seventeen returned in four days. and thirty-seven were paid for sev- enteen days. Of the latter, sixteen enlisted in Capt. Philip Thomas's Co. for eight months.
A company, consisting of I Lieutenant. I Ensign, 4 Sergeants, 4 Corporals, and 52 Privates, marched from Swanzey at daylight on the morning of April 21, under the command of Lieut. Col. Joseph Ham- mond. (Vol. XIII, p. 526.) Twenty-two of them enlisted at Cam- bridge for eight months, and the remainder returned after an absence of fifteen days.

and on that day appointed Colonel Nathaniel Folsom, of Exeter, "to take the chief command of the Troops who have gone or may go from this Government to assist our suffering Brethren in the Prov- ince of the Massachusetts Bay."
On the 25th they appointed Col. Nathaniel Folsom. Col. Josiah Bartlett, and Maj. Samuel Hobart, a committee to go to Massachu- setts, and consult with the government of that province concerning ways and means of defence. This committee advised the raising and organizing of a regiment of men at once. and the several officers then in command of the New Hampshire men in the vicinity of Medford convened and chose field officers, who proceeded to raise a regiment, and had 584 men, exclusive of drummers and fifers, in camp, on the 18th of May. (Col. Stark's Letter, Vol. VII, p. 474.)
Some New Hampshire men had enlisted in Massachusetts regi- ments, and the congress at Exeter, on the 2d day of May, voted "not to discourage persons, being inhabitants of this Province, from En- listing in the Massachusetts service for the present Emergency." May 23, Nathaniel Folsom was again appointed to the general com- mand of the N. H. forces, and vigorous measures were inaugurated to raise and equip the 2000 men which they had voted the day before to raise and organize into three regiments.
May 24, in accordance with the recommendation of the committee of safety, the provincial congress appointed Enoch Poor, of Exeter, Colonel, John McDuffee, of Rochester, Lt. Col., and Joseph Cilley, of Nottingham. Major, and empowered the committee of safety to issue orders for enlisting a regiment.
June I, the same congress appointed "James Reed Esqr to be Collo. of a regiment," Israel Gilman, of New Market, Lt. Colonel, and Na- than Hale, of Rindge, Major, of the same regiment, and authorized the committee of safety to issue enlisting orders to ten men to enlist each a company of 62 men, including officers.
June 3 they appointed John Stark. who had been acting under a commission from Massachusetts, to " be the Colo of the first Regim"," Isaac Wyman, of Keene, to be lieutenant-colonel, and Andrew Mc- Clary, of Epsom, major, and voted "that Ten Companys of 62 men each, of the Regiment now at Medford in the Province of Massts be the first or oldest Regiment." This arrangement was made as a compromise with Stark, who desired the position occupied by Gen. Folsom. Two companies of Stark's regiment were turned over to Reed, whose regiment was "fitted up" (officered) prior to June 8. (Reed's letter, Vol. VII, p. 508.) The regiments of Stark and Reed were at Medford, Mass., while that commanded by Poor remained in New Hampshire to guard against any attempt of the enemy to land

" Head Quarters June the 12, 1775. General Orders-That Coll. Reed quarter his Regiment in the Houses near Charlestown neck and keep all necessary Guards between his Barracks and the Ferrey and on Bunkers Hill-Signed J. Ward Sectary Copy for James Reed"
In obedience thereto Col. Reed marched his regiment to Charles- town Neck on the 13th of June, and posted a guard consisting of "I Capt, 2 Subalterns [lieutenants], 4 Serjeants 4 Corporals and 40 privetts." (Col. Reed's letter.) On the next day he made a return of his regiment as follows :

James Reed Coll."
On the 16th of June Gen. Ward placed three Massachusetts reg- iments and a company of about 120 Connecticut men. commanded by Capt. Knowlton, under the command of Col. William Prescott, of Pepperell. with orders to march to Bunker Hill and erect such forti- fications as he and Col. Gridley, an experienced engineer, might deem best adapted for its defence. On their arrival upon the ground a consultation of the officers was held, and it was decided to erect the redoubt on that part of the eminence known locally as Breed's Hill. Of the "about 1000 men " who marched under Prescott and erected the fortification, 110 or more were New Hampshire men, who had enlisted in Col. Prescott's regiment, from the following towns : Hol- lis, one whole company of 59 men. under Capt. Reuben Dow ; Mer- rimack. I[; Londonderry, II; Raby (now Brookline). 7: others from Amherst, Mason, New Ipswich, etc. (Colonel Prescott's rolls.)
On the following day, June 17. 1775, occurred the memorable "Battle of Bunker Hill." a history of which the editor does not pro- pose to give here. but simply to present some facts relative to the number of New Hampshire men engaged in it, and the service by them performed. The editor has used considerable time in the exam- ination of all manuscript documents and printed works relating to the subject. and by the information thus obtained believes the follow- ing statements are substantially correct.
On the morning of the battle Gen. Ward directed Col. Stark, of the First New Hampshire Regiment. to send 200 men, properly offi- cered, to the assistance of Col. Prescott. which order he "readily obeyed." and despatched the men under the command of Lieut. Col. Isaac Wyman, of Keene. The remainder of Stark's and the whole of Col. Reed's regiment were moved to the front in the afternoon, in obedience to orders from Gen. Ward. Stark says, "And about 2 o'clock in the afternoon express orders came for the whole of my
40

regiment to proceed to Charlestown, to oppose the enemy who were landing on Charlestown Point." He marched his men at once ; and on their arrival at Charlestown Neck they were joined by the reg- iment of New Hampshire men under the command of Col. James Reed, of Fitzwilliam. In consequence of a raking fire across the Neck from the British vessels and floating batteries in Charles river, two regiments. which had been ordered to Prescott's support. had halted. Maj. McClary went forward and said to the commanders, that if they were not intending to move on, he wished them to open ranks and let our regiments pass, which they immediately did ; and Stark and Reed marched their men deliberately to the hill. (E. H. Derby.) The British troops had landed on Moulton's Point. prob- ably with the intention of moving to the left of the redoubt and get- ting in Prescott's rear, which had they succeeded in doing would have rendered their conquest comparatively easy. Col. Stark com- prehended the situation at once, and, moving his men to the left of the redoubt, took up a position behind a rail fence.
Some historians state that Stark's regiment extended to Mystic river, and that the men built a stone barricade on the beach. If that was the fact, Reed's regiment, which was on the same line, must have been posted on the right of Stark's, and on the left of Capt. Knowl- ton's company of Connecticut men, thus forming a nearly continuous line from the redoubt to the river. This line, which was the key to the position. was attacked by the British troops under the command of Gen. Howe in person, a simultaneous attack being made upon the redoubt. Twice they were driven back with great slaughter. The New Hampshire men held their position until the redoubt was taken by the enemy, and Prescott's handful of brave men were on the retreat. then retiring in good order, unconquered, over Bunker Hill to Charlestown Neck.
The historian Bancroft says. " The little handful of brave men [Prescott's] would have been effectually cut off but for the unfalter- ing courage of the provincials at the rail fence and on the bank of the Mystic. They had repulsed the enemy twice, and now held them in check until the main body had left the hill. Not till then did the Connecticut companies under Knowlton, and the New Hampshire soldiers under Stark, quit the station which they had so nobly de- fended." Other historians state that the New Hampshire men at the rail fence "maintained their ground with firmness and intrepid- ity, and successfully resisted every attempt to turn their flank," and saved the men who were retreating from the redoubt from being cut off.
Drake says. "The weight of the first and second attacks was
41
REVOLUTIONARY WAR ROLLS.
borne by the defenders of the rail fence, where Gen. Howe in per- son attacked, with the very flower of his army, supported by artil- lery." "The retreat of this little handful of brave men [under Col. Prescott] would have been effectually cut off had it not happened that the flanking party of the enemy, which was to have come up on the back of the redoubt, was checked by a party of provincials [Stark's, Reed's, and Knowlton's men], who fought with the utmost bravery, and kept them from advancing farther than the beach." (Mass. Com. of Safety-account of the battle.)
The foregoing statements by Massachusetts historians as to the bravery and coolness of the New Hampshire men. and the soldierly skill of their officers. were freely made and well deserved. Had the men under Prescott, Stark, Reed, and Knowlton been armed with bayonets, and fully supplied with ammunition, they could and would have held their position against the entire force under General Howe.
As to the number of men engaged on the American side, historians differ materially Bancroft states that at the time the British landed " Prescott had remaining with him but seven to eight hundred men," and that "his flanks were unprotected." E. H. Derby thinks that this was a high estimate, and fixes the entire force of Prescott. includ- ing his flanking parties. at 600 men when the reinforcements under Stark and Reed reached the field. Mr. Derby says, " If we count in these troops [the 600], and all those who arrived before the final retreat, the number who were engaged in the battle, according to the best evidence to which I have access, was 1985." Other historians place the number variously from 2000 to 2500. I think the latter must include those who went no further than Charlestown Neck, and might have been under fire from the ships, and have lost some men, but really took no part in the action.
The number of men from New Hampshire actually engaged in the battle, according to the best evidence the editor has been able to obtain, was 1230, under command as follows : According to the pay- rolls of the ten companies in Stark's regiment which were with him that day, the number of officers and privates belonging to those com- panies who entered the service prior to June 17 was 616.

In a letter to the Committee of Safety, dated June 23, 1775, Gen. Folsom stated that Col. Stark's regiment still consisted of thirteen companies ; but there is no evidence to show that he had any more with him in the battle than the ten mentioned above. It is stated by historians that there were three New Hampshire companies under the command of Col. Paul Dudley Sargent, of Amherst, which were sent forward too late for service, although Col. Sargent had during the day requested permission to join Stark and Reed. These may have been the other three of Stark's.

The foregoing is a record of which New Hampshire has reason to be proud. It is the result of much research, taking considerable time of the editor, and he believes that it is substantially correct.
His excuse for this lengthy preliminary chapter is his belief that many of the facts herein presented are not known to the majority of our citizens, and that they ought to be placed where they will be accessible to them all, so that they may the more fully understand the important service performed by the men from New Hampshire in that memorable struggle. In order to fully appreciate those ser- vices, it must be borne in mind that the forces of Stark and Reed were undisciplined, armed with guns of different calibers, with but few bayonets, without cartridges, and with but little ammunition of any kind,-notwithstanding which they repulsed two desperate at- tacks made by the flower of the regular British army, led by Gen. Howe in person, and bravely held their position until their small stock of ammunition had become exhausted, the force in the redoubt had retreated, and their position rendered untenable.
