Boston Tea Party 250

250 Years Ago, With the departure of British forces from Boston, the patriots were able to gain access to the graves upon Bunker Hill battlefield and provide proper burials 10 months following. The remains of General Dr. Joseph Warren were "dug up and carried into Town...and were interred with all the Honours of War. ...The Dr. was Buried with the Masons walking in procession from the State House, with the Military in uniforms and a large concourse of people attending. He was carried into the Chapel, and there a funeral Dirge was played. The amiable and heroic virtues of the deceased recent in the minds of the Audience, the noble cause to which he fell a Martyr, their own Sufferings and unparalleled injuries all fresh in their minds, must give weight and energy to whatever could be delivered upon the occasion, the Dead Body like that of Caesars before their Eyes, whilst each wound, ...like dumb mouths wounds did ope their ruby lips, and beg the voice and utterance of a Tongue."
