NILES, Nathaniel (1741-1828). The American Hero: A Sapphick Ode. [Chesire, Conn.: printed by William Law, 1781.]

The American Hero: a war hymn of the Revolution inspired by the Battle of Bunker Hill. "When the American Revolution began in 1775, Niles enthusiastically supported the war against England. 'The American Hero' ... in commemoration of the Battle of Bunker Hill, became a popular song among New England soldiers and militiamen inspired by [its] stanzas" (ANB). The present leaflet is likely the first separate printing, published contemporaneously with a compendium of songs published by William and Andrew Law in 1781. It is likely to have appeared in newspapers earlier, but has not been located. Evans 14349 (citing a publication date of 1775).

Printed broadside in two columns, 154 x 177mm. (Marginal chips at a central fold and a closed tear, both mended.) Custom folding cloth case.
