Another report includes: \"...the Rebels at Red-Bank, horribly panic struck at the loss of their fort on Mud Island...blew up their magazine & fled from the fortifications which they had been preparing for these 6 or 7 weeks...depending entirely on the nimbleness of their heels for their safety...cry with the greatest vociferation \'Damn you drive on--drive on--Run my boys, the English are coming.\' \" plus more. There is also an interesting tongue-in-cheek report concerning: \"Was LOST, on Thursday last, by the printer hereof, a Rebel Newspaper printed at Baltimore, containing...a pompous Congress account of the number of prisoners taken by Gen. Gates which they have swelled to the amount of 6013...\" with more.Page 3 has a letter beginning: \"That the revolted colonies neither intended or desired to be independent appeared to me a position so extravagant...I make no doubt the colonists were very willing to retain their claim to the protection of Great Britain...\" with more.

Links to Archival Storage Options & Certificates of Authenticity Are Below! Historical reports may be beautifulor ugly, but they are always informative. While we rejoice in the beautiful (heroic, discovery, amazing feats, etc.), we at History's Newsstand also offer "the ugly" for we are determined to learn from the wrongs of the past - understanding, to do so, we must be willing to look these wrongs directly in the face and shout "NO MORE!". It is for this reason many Black Americans collect historic slave ads, Jews collect reports regarding the Holocaust, women collect coverage of the Women's Suffrage Movement, etc.. If you find any to be offensive, we agree! Hopefully this is an indication we are moving in the right direction.
