September 19, 1775
THE PENNSYLVANIA EVENING POST, Philadelphia PA, dated September 19, 1775.
* Rare Revolutionary War original
* From America
Most of the first column on the front page is taken up with a report to Pennsylvanians from "The Managers of the United Company of Philadelphia for Promoting American Manufactures" which begins:
* "The great reason there was to apprehend that through the infatuation & obstinacy of the British Parliament, the non-importation and non-exportation agreement of these colonies would continue for a considerable time..." with more (see photos).
Page 2 has some content concerning relations with England, including: "...The Americans cry our ministers are rebels, they will not pay taxes assessed by the authority of Parliament..." and "...Orders are sent to America to put an entire end to the communications, by sea, between colony and colony. Ships of war are ordered up into every large river, with directions to destroy the towns on their banks, should their inhabitants shew any disposition to take arms." And further on is: "...the Americans have gained a very great advantage Pby taking of Ticonderoga; they found 114 brass cannon...".
Page 3 has a nice account of military action from General Schuyler, received by Congress. This report carries over to page 2.
Note the crease caused during the printing process which affects readability a bit but does not cause any loss of words. Complete in 4 pgs., a bit of light foxing, and save for the noted crease in very nice condition. Measures about 8 by 10 inches.
