| 520 | _aTrial by fire by Ernest Haycox is a historical fiction short story written in the early 20th century. It centers on the Battle of Bunker Hill and a Tory New England doctor whose encounter with the fighting forces a reckoning with his loyalties. The story follows Doctor Isaac Brent, a loyalist physician who sets out at dawn and finds his neighbors marching armed toward Charlestown. Learning that Prescott’s men have thrown up a redoubt on Breed’s Hill, he goes to the field to tend the wounded and is swept into the brutal rhythm of the battle—Prescott’s cool commands, Putnam’s encouragement, volleys that break British lines, and, finally, the desperate close-quarters assault when the provincials run out of powder. Brent nurses the fallen, mourns his friend Caleb Gorham’s death, and, in the chaos of the final push, even fights his way out with a seized musket. Returning home exhausted, he admits the courage and conviction he has witnessed are no work of mere agitators, renounces his Tory stance, and resolves to join the provincial army.
