For your consideration is a very rare piece of American and British history. This is a July 1776 magazine from London England. It is filled with articles concerning the issues of the time. The articles include the writers report of a recent visit to London by Thayendanegea, also known as Joseph Brandt, Chief of the Mohawk Indians. Brandt was a loyal ally of Great Britain before and after the American Revolution. However, he was conflicted by which loyalty would be best for his people. He visited London to meet with Queen Anne to better understand Britain's position vis a vis the colonies. His fighting warriors were estimated at 3,000 strong. Fascinating magazine and very important primary source material for collectors and historians of the Revolutionary War and American Revolution!The magazine measures 5 x 8 1/2 and has all pages (339-392) attached to the glued spine. However, the two illustrations referred to at the bottom of the table of contents have been lost over the 240+ years since publication.

I've been a collector of photographs, important documents and publications related to Native American history for over 35 years. I am not a commercial dealer. My collection mainly covers the period from early 1700's to 1930. The images (all vintage) are of various sizes and have been safely stored in archival museum boxes in a climate controlled setting and are in the same condition as when I acquired them.... Please let me know if you are searching for anything in particular and I will be happy to check and place them on eBay if available.
I also have some interesting non-Native material and vernacular photographs that caught my eye over the years.... See my current listings and watch for others....
Always interested in any feedback that might shed additional light on this item.
