Title: William Prescott
Passage: William Prescott (February 20, 1726 – October 13, 1795) was an American colonel in the Revolutionary War who commanded the patriot forces in the Battle of Bunker Hill.  Prescott is known for his order to his soldiers, "Do not fire until you see the whites of their eyes", such that the rebel troops may shoot at the enemy at shorter ranges, and therefore more accurately and lethally, and so conserve their limited stocks of ammunition.  It is debated whether Prescott or someone earlier coined this memorable saying.
Title: Prescott, Massachusetts
Passage: Prescott was a town in Hampshire County, Massachusetts.  It was incorporated in 1822 from portions of Pelham and New Salem, and was partially built on Equivalent Lands.

It was unincorporated on April 28, 1938, as part of the creation of the Quabbin Reservoir.  It was the least populous of the four unincorporated towns, with barely 300 residents by 1900.  Upon dissolution, portions of the town were annexed to the adjacent towns of New Salem and Petersham.  The majority of the former town (the New Salem portion) is still above water, and is known as the Prescott Peninsula.  The public is not allowed on the peninsula except for an annual tour given by the Swift River Valley Historical Society, or for hikes conducted by the Society.  None of the land is in Hampshire County any longer; the New Salem portion is in Franklin County; and the Petersham portion is in Worcester County.
