THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, Sept. 23, 1758  An inside page article headed: "AMERICA--Extract of a letter from a Gentleman at New York to his Friend in London" includes: "You will have heard of our defeat at Ticonderoga before this letter reaches you...this pass is now so fortified by the French as to make it a cover to Crown Point & the chief protection to Montreal itself..." proceeding to take half of the page and half a column on the next page in detailing the actual battle of Ticonderoga (see photos for portions). This is one of the better, more detailed reports we have discovered. Complete in 8 pgs., very nice, clean condition.
