A "primary source" is a description of the event written by the people who experienced it. A "secondary source" is a description written by people who read the books that the primary-source people wrote.
So, a "primary source" for the Battle of Bunker Hill would be written by the soldiers who fought the battle or who observed it first-hand. Each person saw only a PART of the battle; the part he was involved in. Even for such a small battle as Bunker Hill, no one person saw it all; some things were happening on the other side of the hill. A "primary source" can also be written by asking questions of people who were there.
The "Secondary sources" read the books that the eye-witness observers and participants wrote, sometimes decades later.
