Battle of Fort Ticonderoga...
THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, Sept. 21, 1758 Most of page 5 is taken up with a report headed: "New York" "Extract of a Letter from a Gentleman at Lake George, July 11, 1758". This is a fine account of the Battle of Ticonderoga.
This historic battle was fought July 8, 3 days before the date of this report, with daily accounts of the events from July 5 through the 8th, the last day being the most detailed with a fine account of the battle.
Eight pages, 8 by 11 inches, very nice condition. A small portion of the mentioned article is lightly inked making it difficult to read (see the photos).
