Report on the Barbary War...



Item # 700404

February 06, 1902

THE PROVIDENCE GAZETTE, Rhode Island, Feb. 6, 1802  Page 3 has a letter from Gibraltar Bay concerning the ongoing Barbary Wars with reports of conflicts.
The Barbary Wars were a series of battles involving the United States & other countries against the Barbary states, including Tunis, Algiers, and Tripoli, and Morocco. The wars were largely a reaction to piracy carried out by the Barbary states.
Four pages, a hole at the bottom right corner of both leaves cause text loss but not to mentioned reports, some foxing.
