THOMAS'S MASSACHUSETTS SPY; OR THE WORCESTER GAZETTE, Boston, Dec. 22, 1791 This is one of the best issues we have seen on the historic Battle of the Wabash, This was a tragic event in America's early military history, in which the American Army with 1,400 soldiers were swiftly devastated by an American Indian alliance of 1,500 warriors from nine different tribes.
Pages 2 and 3 have a wealth of content on this battle, headed: "Interesting & Melancholy intelligence Respecting the Indian War" which begins with a letter to Congress signed by G. Washington in which he introduces a very lengthy letter from General Arthur St. Clair with much detail on the Battle of the Wabash.
There are 3 letters, each signed by Arthur St. Clair with various details on the battle, followed by the: "...List of the Officers said to be Killed and Wounded." Photos show only portions of the report.
Four pages, archival strengthening at the spine where there is some minor loss, not close to any text. Nice condition.
