Item Information

Title:
Capt. Daniel Malcolm, Copp's Hill Burying Ground, Boston, Mass.
Description:
A large memorial stone with bullet marks on its face attracts attention. It stands, as the inscription states, about the "stone grave ten feet deep," of Capt. Daniel Malcolm, mercht, who departed this life October 23d 1769 aged 44 years: a true son of liberty, a friend to the public, an enemy of oppression, and one of the foremost in opposing the Revenue Acts in America. This stone was a favorite target with the British soldiers quartered in the neighborhood during the siege, and the bullet marks were made by them.
