England recognizes America as free and independent? Battle of Eutaw Springs...
Item # 704127
May 06, 1782
THE INDEPENDENT LEDGER & THE AMERICAN ADVERTISER, Boston, May 6, 1782 One of the best features of this issue is the masthead engraving which features a very patriotic theme: "All Hands with One Inflamed Enlightened Heart." signifying the 13 united colonies having a common, patriotic purpose. One of the more patriotic masthead engravings of the Revolutionary War era.
The front page begins with a report from Richmond that comments upon the Battle of Eutaw Springs in the Carolina, the last major battle in the South. The front page also has other reports relating to the war as well, including some concerning various Indian tribes.
Page 3 has a very notable item noting: "We've this day a piece of news--That a change has taken place in the British Ministry:--That the Parliament have voted to acknowledge AMERICA INDEPENDENT---TO WITHDRAW THEIR TROOPS from the CONTINENT, and bend their WHOLE FORCES against FRANCE..." with a bit more on historic report that would seem to be premature.
Four pages, archival strengthening at the blank spine, a few small & very discrete archival mends at the margins, nice condition.
