American Revolutionary War Military Report 1777
<B>American Revolutionary War Military Report, Tiverton, Rhode Island,</B></I> one page, 9.5" x 2.75", February 4, 1777. Report of the mainguard signed by the officer of the day "<I>Palatiah Eddy</B></I>". Men from the Tiverton outpost took part in the Battle of Freetown, on May 25, 1778, during the Revolutionary War. For about three years of that war, December 1776-late 1779, Rhode Island proper (also known as Aquidneck Island, historically) was occupied by the British. During this time, Tiverton was a refuge for Americans fleeing this occupation, and a mustering place for Colonial forces, gathering to drive away the British.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
