Item # 659940
July 17, 1777
THE LONDON EVENING POST, England, July 17, 1777 The front page has a bit noting: "That General Washington, with the flower of his army...lay at a place called Bound Brook in New Jersey, with a design either to intercept General Howe on his flank, or revisit New York, in which city there is not a single Whig left..." and more.
Page 2 has a report: "...of an unpleasant nature...of General Washington having effected a surprise over the forces commanded by Lord Cornwallis in which his Lordship narrowly escaped having his horse shot under him." The stubbornness of the King is shown in: "...the King...will hazard the last jewel in his crown rather than leave the infamous Rebels of America to their independency...".
Several other bits as well, some shown in the photos.
Four pages, folio size, never-trimmed margins, red tax stamp on page 3, nice condition.
