Bunker Hill Monument

This picture of the Bunker Hill Monument was taken at 43 Monument Square in Boston, Massachusetts.  The Battle of Bunker Hill, actually fought here on Breed's Hill, June 17, 1775, was the first military confrontation of the Revolutionary War.  Lets say it was a great moral victory for the Patriots against the British!  The Monument reminds me of a mini Washington Monument with 294 steps to the top, no elevator though.  The Monument itself soars skyward 221 feet.
