Title
Photocopies (2) of items originally printed in The Gentleman's Magazine
Description
Photocopies (2) of items originally printed in The Gentleman's Magazine. The original items are housed in Folder 4.
1. Photocopy of "Account of the Murder of a Tribe of Indians in Pennsylvania," by Benjamin Franklin and submitted by "J. H." The Gentleman's Magazine, St. John's Gate, London, pages 173 to 178. The account provides a narrative of the Conestoga Massacre, decries the act, emphasizes that the victims were ostensibly under English protection, and unfavorably compares the massacre to guest right customs of other cultures. April 1764. Text varies slightly from the original pamphlet and from the reprint in The London Chronicle or Universal Evening Post, April 1764.
2. Photocopy of "A Letter from Pennsylvania to a Friend in England; containing valuable Information with Respect to America," by L. S. Jardine, M.D., The Gentleman's Magazine, St. John's Gate, London, pages 1024 to 1025. Generally favorable description of Northumberland County, Pennsylvania. This letter advertises Northumberland County as a developing community, a juxtaposition to the frontier described thirty years earlier. December 1795.
Admin/Biographical History
This collection contains items related to the Paxton Boys and Conestoga Massacre. April 1764 issue of The Gentleman's Magazine includes article on massacre by Benjamin Franklin. 10 January entry in Charles Mason's diary contains discussion of massacre. Manuscript copy of remonstrance, signed by Matthew Smith and James Gibson and sent to Governor John Penn, lays out grievances against provincial government and justifies attacks on Native Americans.
