Francis Taden Graves
Minuteman Mason Swarts
July, 4 -1776
Dear Family,
I have seen a lot of amazing things over the last couple of years that I would like to tell you about. When they first recruited me, I wasn’t on the front line, but this battle I was. I got to see everything that happened except the person who shot first. When the Lobsterbacks showed up it, seemed like there was 1,000,000 of them, but we had a better fighting position. Right before the war started a commander from the 43rd Regiment came to get me to fight on the North Bridge. After we shot a couple volleys, the British retreated. We did not pursue the Redcoats because we didn't want to be tired for the battle at Boston. Some of the other minutemen were surrounding Boston or at Breed’s Hill, but I was at Bunker Hill. We demolished the British. I hope this letter comforts you and now you know what I have seen over the last couple of years.
Sincerely,
Jacob Snickers
