This original newspaper contains news of the Cherokee War during the French and Indian War, as the action is unfolding, with the Cherokee Indians threatening to kill all white prisoners if any whites attempt to occupy the fort at Ninety-Six, South Carolina. Fort Prince George was a fort constructed in 1753 in northwest South Carolina, on the Cherokee Path across the Keowee River from the Cherokee town of Keowee. The fort was named for the Prince of Wales, who would later become King George III of the United Kingdom. It was the principal Carolinian trading post among the Cherokee "Lower Towns".The fort was built on the Keowee River, across from the largest Cherokee "Lower Town", Keowee. The fort was a 200-foot square built of earth and wood with walls 12 to 15 feet high, surrounded by a deep trench. The fort's interior living area was about 100 feet square. The interior contained a guardhouse, storehouse, kitchen, magazine, barracks, and officer's quarters .The fort served as a staging point for three British assaults on the Cherokee during the Anglo-Cherokee War. It also was the site of a siege by Cherokee warriors in February 1760, simultaneously with attacks on Ninety-Six, Fort Dobbs and Fort Loudoun. Hostilities ended in 1761, and the fort was abandoned by 1768. Very good condition. This listing includes the complete entire original newspaper, NOT just a clipping or a page of it. STEPHEN A.
