A New Look for <i>A Dear-Bought Victory</i>

We’ve made an update to the cover of our upcoming book on the battle of Bunker Hill by Dan Davis and Phill Greenwalt. We thought you’d like a peek:

The previous cover design featured a woodcut that was obviously in the public domain–yet we couldn’t quite put our finger on it. That made us nervous enough to swap out the image!

The replacement image, which comes courtesy of the Library of Congress, was painted by E. Percy Moran around 1909. It shows the advance of British troops up the slope of Breed’s Hill, where they paid a heavy toll—indeed, a dear-bought victory.

We love the contrast between the red coats and the green design, which is much more eye-catching than the original cover. We hope you agree: this really pops!

Look for A Dear-Bought Victory: The Battle of Bunker Hill and the Siege of Boston by Daniel T. Davis and Phill Greenwalt coming in June 2026.
