Fog On The Hill Marc Jesse Stockwell-Moniz

On the morning of June 17, 1775, the fog was slowly lifting over the small village of Charlestown, Massachusetts. Tragically, a more ominous and metaphorical type of fog quickly descended upon the Charlestown Peninsula. It followed angry American patriots and their wrathful British enemies. This fog was the omnipresent fog of war. It would dictate the chaotic fighting by the combatants during the legendary Battle of Bunker Hill. In his book, Fog On The Hill, author Marc Stockwell-Moniz guides the reader into the bedlam of this renowned battle. He details the utter confusion which surrounded both the Americans and the British and explains the de facto political recognition by the British toward the freely elected Massachusetts Provincial Congress. Also highlighted in Fog On The Hill are First Nation Americans and African-Americans, along with an updated American death count from the legendary battle.
