THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, Feb. 21, 1760  The front page has over a full column of reports concerning the ongoing French & Indian War. Some bits include: "...happy event of the expedition undertaken by Gov. Lyttelton against the Cherokee Indians who had begun open hostilities...by scalping several inhabitants of Virginia and North and South Carolina..." with so much more on them.
Further on is: "...The Cherokees are the most numerous nation of Indians adjoining to the British colonies on the continent; they can send out to war a body of 2,500 fighting men and possess a country that extends from the frontiers of Virginia and Carolina to the French settlements on the Mississippi..." with even more.

Background: This February 21, 1760 issue of The London Chronicle provides a vivid, front-page snapshot of the expanding Southern theater of the French and Indian War, highlighting South Carolina Governor William Henry Lyttelton’s aggressive campaign against the Cherokee Nation following bloody raids along the Virginia and Carolina frontiers. The report celebrates Lyttelton’s expedition—where he marched into Cherokee territory and forced a treaty by holding 22 tribal chiefs hostage at Fort Prince George—while starkly detailing the formidable power of the Cherokee, who were capable of fielding 2,500 fighting men across a strategic expanse stretching from the British colonies to French positions along the Mississippi River. What British readers viewed as a "happy event" in early 1760 actually signaled a catastrophic escalation into the Anglo-Cherokee War (1758–1761), as the hostaging strategy outraged the Cherokee Nation, leading to the execution of the fort commander, a devastating retaliatory assault that wiped out British Fort Loudoun later that year, and intense British military incursions that burned dozens of Native towns before a peace treaty was restored in 1761.
