It was said June 17, 1775 at the Battle of Bunker Hill, near Boston Massachusetts. Whether it was William Prescott who said it is a matter of controversy; for most of the last two hundred-plus years it has been reported that Israel Putnam said it. "Old Put" was the general but was not present on the Hill during the Battle. He was an old Indian fighter and experienced military man, and it sounds more like something he would say.
