* Battle of  Camden South Carolina

Over a full column on the ftpg. is taken up with an account of the battle of Camden, South Carolina, in which the American forces of Gen. Horatio Gates are overwhelmingly defeated by General Cornwallis. The remainder of the ftpg. is taken up with other Revolutionary War-related reports (see photos).
Page 2 has much on the war, too much to detail here so see the many photos. Some war-related text on pg. 3 as well including: "...the Penna. line, who for a long time have suffered with all their brother soldiers, on account of the depreciation of the currency...actually did form themselves into a body & agreed to a man that they would serve their country no longer...".
Complete in 4 pages, margins were never trimmed. Light staining at the top of the ftpg. and some ink smudging in the masthead engraving do deter a bit, otherwise quite nice. A very rare title!
