Contradiction[edit]

Battle of Bunker Hill states that Poor died in the battle (in 1775), while this article implies that his life extended to 1776 and beyond. What is correct? Ground 15:02, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Sorry it took me so long to get an answer. Poor's career is very vague, and written to be inspiring. This account is better. I've fixed the Bunker Hill article. Thanks...Lou I 23:13, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Searching through several old documents I found some addtional info that I added. He was born in the late 40's bought his freedom and then got married. Since he reenlisted and later fought at Valley Forge and in the White Plains campaign it is unlikely that the died at Bunker Hill.
