Few images of the Battle of Bunker Hill are as evocative as Colonell William Prescott striding up and down the walls of the redoubt, his sword drawn, his banyan fluttering in the breeze as the British regiments marched up the hill. The stalwart defense of Prescott and his troops at the Battle of Bunker Hill established the American army as a formidable foe for the British army. For all this, there is much about Prescott's life we don't know. Author Don Ryan is completing a biography of Prescott wherein he will bring to life Colonel Prescott and all of his services to the people of Massachusetts in their effort to secure independence.
