Item # 693726
April 25, 1758
THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, April 25, 1758 Pages 5 and 6 have over a full column headed: "America" which begins with some reports from the Caribbean, then news datelined from Philadelphia noting in part: "...some men were going into the woods at Fort Edward for fire-wood, they were surrounded & attacked by a large party of Indians...defended himself with his forelock against the Indians, as they came up to tomahawk and scalp him, till he was carried into the fortress; that a corporal & 15 men were killed...a soldier got into the fort affair being scalped..." and more.
Other fine reporting from the French & Indian War, including: "...that a part of the Twightwee Indians had lately made a visit to fort Duquesne on the Ohio & insisted upon living in the Fort..." with more on this. Still other reports as well.
Pages 7 and 8 contain: "Governor De Lancey's Speech to the General Assembly of New York..." which--not surprisingly--deals much with the French & Indian War. Photos show his full speech.
Eight pages, 8 1/4 by 11 inches, fold foxing to the front page, very nice condition.
