A great recap of the French & Indian War to this point...
Item # 693727
May 06, 1758
THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, May 6, 1758 All of pages 1, 2 and most of page 3 are taken up with a very lengthy article headed: "History of the Last Campaign in North America".
It begins: "The experience of the campaigns in 1755 and 1756 had convinced our commanders in chief that there would be no end of the war on either side so long as our armies aimed at nothing further than traversing from place to place either for the defence or attack of a few straggling forts in a woody country. This method of making war is even more unpromising on the frontiers of these colonies..." with much more on the events of the French & Indian War to that point. Photos show portions.
Pages 3 and 4 contain a report headed: "America" with a Phila. dateline, concerning the trial of William Smith for libeling Mr. William Moore. This takes over half a page, with various reports online concerning it.
Eight pages, 8 1/4 by 11 inches, nice condition.
