The Brooklyn Daily Eagle's historical reports on June 17 detail celebrations of the Battle of Bunker Hill across different years. In 1842, the salute from the top of the Monument symbolized local pride. By 1875, the Centennial Anniversary highlighted the significant moral progress made by a reconciled America, contrasting past conflicts with contemporary unity. The 1916 report discussed military maneuvers and tensions regarding General Pershing's operations in Mexico, emphasizing the ongoing complexity of American military strategy and international relations post-Civil War.
The Centennial Anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill, which is being celebrated today, at Charlestown, is a glorious attestation of the moral progress of the American people.
General Funston advised the War Department today that he was informed by General Bell at El Paso that General Pershing had been warned by General Trevino.
