Description
PERHAPS THE FIRST TIME PAUL REVERE MADE THE NEWS

[BATTLE OF BUNKER HILL]. [REVERE, Paul (1735-1818), association]. The Shrewsbury Chronicle, Or, Wood’s British Advertising Gazette… Vol IV, Numb. 135. [Shrewsbury, August 5, 1775]. Four folio pages on one large folio sheet. Each page approximately 461 x 309 mm. On laid paper. Some rubbing, toning, light chipping to left margin (most likely indicating that this was excised from a book). Portion of halfpenny tax stamp at lower right corner of p. 1. One small soil mark on upper corner of p. 1 (possibly from a wax seal). On p. 1 is an account of the Battle of Bunker Hill, “... On friday night, June 16th 1500 of the provincials went to Bunker’s-hill, in order to intrench there, and continued intrenching ‘till Saturday ten o’clock, when 2000 regulars marched out of Boston, landed in Charles-Town, and plundering it of all its valuable effects, set fire to it in ten different places at once…” ALSO ON P. 1 IS PERHAPS THE ONLY CONTEMPORARY MENTION OF PAUL REVERE: “Yesterday Mr. Paul Revirs [sic] passed thro’ this city [Winter Hill, MA], in his way to the Continental Congress, and we hear he carries attended accounts, that the regulars lost 1000 men, and the provincials 200, in killed and wounded.” An incredibly rare account of Bunker Hill and a possibly unique contemporary mention of Paul Revere.
