Patriots of Color at Battle Road and Bunker Hill

At the outbreak of the Revolutionary War, a little more than 20 Patriot men of color responded to the alarm and
actively engaged the British on the Battle Road. In the weeks leading up to the Battle of Bunker Hill, hundreds
of men of color converged from all over New England to assist at the Siege of Boston. More than 100 fought at
Bunker Hill. For decades, these men were forgotten. This talk is one small step in telling their story.

George Quintal Jr. is a Revolutionary War researcher, whose experience results from exhaustive research into the lives of participants in the American Revolution. Much of this
research has been the ongoing effort of reading/extracting the entire 2670 roll archive of 80,000+ Revolutionary War pension applications. Mr. Quintal is planning to publish a series of books, battle by battle, on the common soldiers of the American Revolution. The first book in that series is entitled: Patriots of Color at the Battle of Bunker Hill.
