In 1816 a detailed hand-drawn map of the Battle of Bunker Hill surfaced in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. How it got there we’ll never know. Still, we know the cartographer was in the fight, and his map has become one of our main sources on the battle: https://t.co/wPjTXq9x05

[J. L. Bell @Boston1775]

@SalinaBBaker Yes, he acknowledged my earlier take but came to a different conclusion from mine. I’m going back to the question with an additional source to consider.

[J. L. Bell @Boston1775]

As Boston celebrated the centennial of Bunker Hill, a medical journal published a letter describing a secret meeting shortly before the battle between Dr. Joseph Warren and the Loyalist doctor John Jeffries: https://t.co/5lLezIgqyn

Just received first dose of Moderna vaccine at Gillette Stadium as MA Medical Reserve Corps. Itching to jab others in upcoming immunization campaigns.

[Samuel A. Forman @DrSamForman]

@Boston1775 advances intriguing proposal to name anonymous Faneuil Hall (Cradle of Liberty) doorways for diverse Bostonians associated w/landmark. Compelling historical rationale as compared to naming Gillette Stadium as home of Patriots football. @BostonLandmarks pls take note

[J. L. Bell @Boston1775]

Proposal: Use the doorways into the Cradle of Liberty (the Hall Formerly Known as Faneuil) to honor a range of political actors from Revolutionary and antebellum Boston, including Samuel Adams, William Cooper Nell, Lucy Stone, and maybe Harbottle Dorr. https://t.co/K0uWIUNlpQ

@GraceMallon3 I believe the constitution has been interpreted as regulating interstate commerce, a power reserved for the Federal govt. Intrastate quarantines would seem to be subject to this separation of powers in favor of the Feds. Provinces may have taken unilateral actions pre-1787
