Don't Fire Until You See the Whites of Their Eyes

from The Daily Note with James A. Brown

American forces were running low on ammunition when British troops advanced at the Battle of Bunker Hill in June 1776. The fighting actually took place on Breed's Hill, not Bunker Hill, though history remembered it differently. That shortage is what gave the order 'Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes' its real meaning: every shot had to count.This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy
