Reporting on the French & Indian War...

Item # 693606

January 26, 1760

THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, Jan. 26, 1760 The front page begins with over a full column taken up with reports on the French & Indian War, headed: "America" with a Boston dateline.
The report notes in part: "...a sloop fitted out at Louisbourg...on board a detachment of 90 troops under Capt. Schomberg, to go in quest of the enemy...brought with them 7 of the chiefs, or heads of the tribes of Indians, and about 12 Frenchmen...the enemy sent off a party with a flag of truce...Among the prisoners lately arrived from Canada, are, Major Grant, taken at Pittsburg...Some of them were at Montreal when the news arrived there of the surrender of Quebec, and of the death of Monsieur Montcalm...the French in general were much down cast...three French vessels...were brought under the Fort at Ticonderoga..." and even more.
All of page 5 and nearly half of page 6 are taken up with a great wealth of news on the French & Indian War, headed: "America" and with datelines from Boston, New York, Charleston, and Williamsburg. Too much to detail here, but the photos show about 75% of the text.
Eight pages, 8 by 10 3/4 inches, great condition.
