LAST WEEK'S QUESTION OF THE WEEK: On what hill did the Battle of Bunker Hill take place? (Answer carefully.) The first (unofficial) battle of the American War for Independence took place not on Bunker Hill but on Breed's Hill, on June 17, 1775. The opposing forces were supposed to engage on Bunker Hill, but for unknown reasons the soldiers dug in on the smaller sight, about 2,000 feet away. To straighten things out for visitors, Breed's Hill was later renamed Bunker Hill.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK: How many grievances against the king were named in the Declaration of Independence?
