Do the books:  Bunker Hill: A City, a Siege, a Revolution by Nathaniel Philbrick (Apr 30, 2013)
                       
The Whites of Their Eyes: Bunker Hill, the First American Army, and the Emergence of George Washington by Paul Lockhart (Jun 7, 2011)

American Spring: Lexington, Concord, and the Road to Revolution by Walter R. Borneman (May 6, 2014)

There are a few more but I picked the most current and what I thought were the better ones.
... to catch the fire in another American for sharing the skills and our heritage to our posterity. Maybe my perfect shots will be made by those I met along the trials and trails of Appleseed. I know that America is a nation of Riflemen.

I have just about finished American Spring.

I will check out your suggestions.

Battles of the American Revolution by Wood is good.
"On one man's soul it hath broken,
A light that doth not depart;
And his look, or a word he hath spoken,
Wrought flame in another man's heart."

I am most of the way thru Bunker Hill: A City, a Siege, a Revolution by Nathaniel Philbrick.  It's a good one.  He starts prior to April 19 and has a few tidbits thrown in about Lexington and Concord that I hadn't seen before.  He does a good job setting the scene at Bunker/Breed's Hill and explaining the troop movements.
