Talk:Bunker Hill Monument

Washington Monument
Under "See Also" is the Washington Monument, but there isn't any mention in either article about what they have to do with each other. They're both Revolutionary-War-related and look a lot alike, but did one specifically inspire the other? Were they designed by the same person or something? It would be nice to add a remark in one or the other article if they have some such connection. Otherwise, maybe the "See Also" should be removed.Originalname37 (talk) 18:01, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

"misnamed"?
I don't think the Battle of Bunker Hill should be characterized as being "misnamed", as this article presently does. It was named for the objective of the combatants, although most of the actual fighting took place on the adjacent Breed's Hill. The name is perhaps misleading, but not mistaken. 209.179.74.58 (talk) 00:05, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

William Ticknor wrongly cited?
I had noted that William Ticknor was listed in the article as the person credited with the idea of a monument. He was only 13 at the time of the Associations founding. I found on the site http://thomascranelibrary.org/legacy/history/hisch2.htm that William Tudor was the person credited with the concept. I'm hoping someone can confirm and correct as needed.

Gridley Bryant
Wiki article Gridley Bryant says he was the builder of the monument.

Why does my text search of this article fail to find mention of him?

Cornerstone
It says the directors laid the cornerstone but Lafayette performed the ceremony. What's the difference?
