January 31, 1761
THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, Jan. 31, 1761 The front page begins with a report headed: "America" with a New York dateline, noting: "... that a small body of Chickasaw Indians in our interest, met with a part of the Cherokees, when, after a smart skirmish of near 3 hours, the Cherokees were obliged to fly...one of the prisoners having formerly exercised some cruelties on the Chickasaws they tied him to a stake and after they had half strangled him they made a pile of wood round him, and burnt him to ashes...".
Page 6 has two brief reports concerning the transport of slaves, such being rarely found in period newspapers: "The Calypso...from Africa, is arrived at Barbadoes with 387 slaves; and the Bridget...and Talten Lenecar, from ditto, are arrived at Guadalupe with 200 slaves each. The Marlborough...is gone from the Leeward Islands with 300 slaves, down to Jamaica."
Eight pages, 8 1/4 by 10 3/4 inches, partial red tax stamp on page 4, very nice condition.
