Gun for sale
As the legend goes, Colonel William Prescott ordered his militia “Don’t shoot until you see the whites of their eyes!” as British forces embarked on Bunker Hill nearly 250 years ago.
One man, didn’t follow those orders. Private John Simpson fired, sparking the Battle at Bunker Hill, a fight the colonists lost, but historians mark as a pivotal event that provided the revolutionaries with confidence they could challenge the world’s most powerful military. That musket, which began the bloodshed on June 17, 1775, is now up for auction. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/n...old-at-auction |
Wow, amazing piece of history there. It's too bad they didn't mention the auction house.
