THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, June 16, 1781  A terrific account of the Battle of Guilford Court House, given in the American commander's own words.
Despite the relatively small numbers of troops involved, this battle was very decisive. Before the battle, the British appeared to have successfully reconquered Georgia and South Carolina with the aid of strong Loyalist factions, and thought that North Carolina might be within their grasp. In the wake of the battle, Greene moved into South Carolina, while Cornwallis chose to invade Virginia. These decisions allowed Greene to unravel British control of the South, while leading Cornwallis to Yorktown and surrender.
Page 7 contains: "American News" which includes a letter signed in type by: Nath. Greene, dated March 10, several days before the historic battle and setting up his situation. This is immediately followed by another more lengthy letter signed by him as well: Nathaniel Greene, dated at "Camp at the Iron Works, ten miles from Guildford Court House, March 16", the day after the battle. This great account of the battle takes over half of the page (see).
The balance of the page has other American reports, carrying over to the back page. The back page also has a letter signed in type: Cornwallis, being a non-military item.
Additionally, the front page has a short report concerning the Revolutionary (see).
Complete in 8 pages, never bound nor trimmed, minor edge wear, generally nice condition.
