Battle of Bunker’s Hill.

New Hampshire men, which is more than half of the American force that was actually engaged in the battle. In a letter to the Committee of Safety, dated June 23, 1775, Gen. Folsom stated that Col . Stark's regiment still consisted of thirteen companies ; but there is no evidence to show that he had any more with him in the battle than the ten mentioned above . It is stated by historians that there were three New Hampshire companies under the command of Col. Paul Dudley Sargent, of Amherst, which were sent forward too late for service, although Col . Sargent had during the day requested permission to join Stark and Reed. These may have been the other three of Stark's.
