Percy, gallant in the action of June 17th, was destined to serve with credit at Long Island, White Plains, Brandywine, and Newport. Rawdon, then a lieutenant, who gallantly stormed the redoubt on Breed’s Hill, and received in his arms the body of his captain, Harris, of the British 5th Infantry, was destined to win reputation at Camden and Hobkirk’s Hill, but close his military career in America as a prisoner of war to the French. The British retained and fortified Bunker Hill, and the time had arrived for more systematic American operations, and the presence of the Commander-in-Chief. Congress had appointed the following general officers as Washington’s associates in conduct of the war. _Major-Generals._ Some of these have been already noticed. ARTEMAS WARD. CHARLES LEE, a retired officer of the British Army, a military adventurer under many flags, a resident of Virginia, an acquaintance of Washington, and ambitious to be first in command. PHILIP SCHUYLER, then a member of Congress; a man of rare excellence of character, who had served in the French and Indian War, and took part in Abercrombie’s Ticonderoga campaign. ISRAEL PUTNAM. _Brigadier-Generals._ SETH POMEROY. RICHARD MONTGOMERY, who served gallantly under Wolfe before Quebec, in 1759, and in the West Indies, in 1762. DAVID WOOSTER. WILLIAM HEATH, who, previous to the war, was a vigorous writer upon the necessity of military discipline and a thoroughly organized militia. JOSEPH SPENCER, of Connecticut, also a soldier of the French and Indian War, both as Major and Lieutenant-Colonel. JOHN THOMAS, also a soldier of the French and Indian War, and in command of a regiment at Cambridge, recruited by himself. JOHN SULLIVAN, a lawyer of New Hampshire, of Irish blood; a member of the First Continental Congress, and quick in sympathy with the first movement for armed resistance to British rule. NATHANIEL GREENE, already in command of the Rhode Island troops. Congress had also selected as Adjutant-General of the Army, HORATIO GATES, of Virginia, who, like Lee, had served in the British regular army; commanded a company in the Braddock campaign, and gained some credit for bravery at the capture of Martinique, in the West Indies. He was also known to Washington, and shared with Lee in aspiration to the chief command. If Washington had possessed prophetic vision, even his sublime faith might have wavered in view of that unfolding future which would leave none of these general officers by his side at the last conflict of the opening war. Ward, somewhat feeble in body, would prove unequal to active service; lack the military acuteness and discernment which the crisis would demand, and retire from view with the occupation of Boston.
