August 13, 1794

THOMAS'S MASSACHUSETTS SPY OR WORCESTER GAZETTE, Aug. 13, 1794 

* Siege of Fort Recovery - Ohio
* Northwest Indian War - Confederacy


A very ornate masthead makes this a displayable issue.
Inside has a report from Martinsburg, Virginia: "Battle With the Indians!" which has a report from Lexington about an Indian battle. Bits include: "...under Major McMahan were attacked under the walls of Fort Recovery by upwards of 1000, some say about 1500 Indians who assaulted that fort in every direction, but were repulsed with great slaughter..." with more on this.
Page 3 has yet another & nicely detailed account of this Indian attack.
This was the Siege of Fort Recovery, located on the present-day Ohio and Indiana border.
Four pages, wide, never-trimmed margins, very nice condition.
