THE PENNSYLVANIA EVENING POST, Philadelphia, November 21, 1775
* Battle of Bunker Hill
* Revolutionary War
This is a very significant and historic issue! The front page is entirely taken up with a continued article which talks much of "Tyrants" and "Liberty" with references to "American Courage", the "Thirteen United Colonies" "General Gates is Tyrant's rider..." and even reference to Bunker Hill.
But of particular significance is the lengthy and very detailed account, taking most of pages 2 and 3 which is: "...a fair and impartial account of the late battle of Charlestown..." being the Battle of Bunker Hill. Additional reports are found on page 3 as well.
Also brief mention of the arrival of "...the Lady of his Excellency General Washington..." arriving in Philadelphia The back page has most of a column taken up with a letter from Cambridge concerning: "...an account of the Regulars landing at Letchmore's Point about a mile & a half from Cambridge..." with further particulars.
Some very light damp staining around the margins, the lower right corner missing from the front leaf but not even close to any text, otherwise complete in 4 pages and in generally nice condition. The issue measures 8 by 10 inches.
