Don Ryan gave a masterful and engaging presentation on local patriot Colonel William Prescott. Ryan presented with eloquence and humor about the life of this brave and esteemed hero of the American Revolution. I heartily recommend Ryan's presentation, which is sure to captivate any audience interested in America's drive for independence., The Vanderbilt Alumni Association of Boston gathered for a talk on the Battle of Bunker Hill, led by local author Don Ryan. We were amazed by the information Don provided, all without notes, in forty minutes. He knew the major players, their motivations, and challenged us, mere visitors, to imagine what it might have been like on June 17, 1775. Although clearly a scholar of William Prescott of Pepperell, Don also knew the backgrounds of Major General Artemas Ward, the British commanders, and colonial hero, Dr. Joseph Warren, who perished in the battle. Don brought the history of one of America's most pivotal battles to life for our group., William Prescott has been remembered by history as a hero of the early days of the American Revolution and perhaps the most prominent patriot leader at the 1775 battle of Bunker Hill. Yet he was so much more than the two-dimensional figure who has come down to us in the lore of the Revolution, and in Colonel William Prescott , author Donald R. Ryan relates Prescott's life in fascinating detail, a life dedicated to public service that went far beyond his role in a single battle. Ryan's conversational style also gives a glimpse into the process of reconstructing a past life. Ryan's book should be required reading for students of the Revolutionary War and the early Republic., Colonel William Prescott is a true profile in courage of a crucial leader in the American Revolution. Don Ryan clearly has immense enthusiasm for the hero of Bunker Hill, and he explores Prescott's personal character in addition to his deeds. Ryan also takes the reader through the historical detective work that helped unearth new facts about Prescott and his life before and after Bunker Hill. This book is an important addition to Revolutionary history., Don Ryan has been engaging visitors to the Bunker Hill Monument site for a few years. He has turned his passion for the Battle of Bunker Hill and talking with the public into a book. At the Charlestown branch of the Boston Public Library, Don entertained his audience with his informal, conversational style. Don combines the story of the battle with his original research into the biography of Colonel William Prescott, who led the Provincial forces. Don presents a well-paced, lively lecture with interesting anecdotes about the battle and Prescott., Don Ryan brings Colonel William Prescott and his times to life. He places you in the middle of the battle of Bunker Hill, where you will feel the smoke of battle and learn the competing tactics of the American and British forces. A fascinating talk about a subject everyone will love., William Prescott still stands, sword in hand, beneath the Bunker Hill Monument. We all know what he did on June 17, 1775. But he had lived nearly fifty years before that decisive day, and would live twenty years after. Don Ryan brings to life the elusive Prescott and the world that shaped him, and shows us why Prescott and men like him chose war instead of submission. Prescott's life, and the choices he made, before the war and after, help us understand the American Revolution, its causes and its consequences., Don Ryan has proven himself to be a prolific storyteller with this groundbreaking account of William Prescott's leadership at the Battle of Bunker Hill. For the first time, readers can truly grasp the depth of Prescott's strategic genius, the resilience of his troops, and the decisive role he played in shaping the course of the Revolution. This book is not just a recounting of history--it is a masterful narrative that brings to life the intensity and bravery of that fateful day and William Prescott's role in it. As we continue to celebrate what the Battle of Bunker Hill meant for our nation's independence 250 years later, Ryan's work will surely stand as a definitive account--one that belongs in history books and on the shelves of anyone who values the extraordinary sacrifices that built America., Donald Ryan's Colonel William Prescott is a wonderful book and a valuable contribution to the literature on the American Revolution. Prescott is best known for his courage, character, and leadership in commanding the colonial troops on Bunker Hill. Ryan's account of that desperate fight is gripping and insightful, and his perceptive post-mortem evaluation of the engagement is must reading. So, too, is his biography of Prescott, a stirring account that fleshes out the life of this important American patriot., There were two legendary patriots who fought at the battle of Bunker Hill on June 17, 1775--Dr. Joseph Warren who was killed in action and Colonel William Prescott. Through judicious research Ryan presents a compelling story about an often-overlooked American hero who continued to serve his country well beyond the Breed's Hill battlefield.

Synopsis
Colonel William Prescott's leadership at Bunker Hill exemplified American resilience, shaping the Revolutionary War's course. In America, before the United States was established, there were a small number of select people and events that made such an impact on the great issues of the day that they changed the course of history. One such event was colonial Boston's battle of Bunker Hill in June 1775. And, indisputably, the most important actor in that event was Massachusetts native Colonel William Prescott.Prescott was a humble and noble man of high integrity, a descendent of one of America's earliest families, and an ardent patriot beloved by those who knew him best. The brave and determined stand made by Prescott and his hodgepodge of mostly inexperienced fighters, against a far more formidable British military force, demonstrated the American fighting spirit and spurred the drive for independence. Although Prescott's men twice threw back British assaults on their defenses, they were forced to retreat during a third assault. Prescott was one of the last to leave their makeshift fort, defending himself against the British bayonets with his triangular-bladed short sword. Prescott survived the famous battle and, as few others could claim, participated in a series of major events during the Revolutionary Era and the eventual establishment of the United States Constitution.While Bunker Hill has remained a touchstone, time and subsequent events have caused Prescott's fame gradually to fade from memory. But were it not for Prescott's extraordinary efforts in June 1775 the drive for Liberty might well have been delayed, if not abandoned altogether. This book tells the story of Prescott's extraordinary life in an attempt to revive the legacy and fame of this true American hero., A comprehensive biography of Colonel William Prescott, principal commander at the highly consequential battle of Bunker Hill in June 1775.
