I have a theory on Dr. Joseph Warren. I’m thinking there is a chance he was aware he had a massive terminal medical issue and chose to die at Bunker Hill. The day of the battle he had another massive headache and upon hearing there would be a fight charged to the battle. However, he wore his nicest clothes ie., funeral clothes. Given his political responsibilities I’m not sure he would have wasted his best clothes on the battlefield. He was a widowed father with four children. Dying in battle would not be a rational choice, unless you already believed you were dying. He was also a leading and valuable political leader. I’m hard pressed to think he wouldn’t believe himself better able to help the cause by being alive.
