Original copy from 1792 of Columbian Centinel. Contains an article titled "Agreeable Intelligence, (If True.)," which is one man's account of 3 spies being directed to a Native American encampment for intelligence. Once informed, General Scott divided his troop into 3 divisions who then attacked them by surprise and thus were victorious in defeating the Native Americans and re-obtaining U.S. provisions, stores, cattle, etc. that were previously stolen. At the end of this article is a pink asterisk that references some handwritten text at the base of the newspaper, which is difficult to read. Includes several other articles and advertisements. Light toning at previous fold lines. Small closed tears at edges of newspaper (see image). 4 pp. 11 x 17 3/4 inches. Seller Inventory # 6661
