Description:

This anonymous letter published in the March 24, 1774, edition of Rind’s Virginia Gazette warns royal governor John Murray, fourth earl of Dunmore, about increasing conflict between Virginia settlers and neighboring tribes along the Ohio River. The writer urges Dunmore to strike first to protect settlers. The ensuing conflict, known as Dunmore’s War, lasted from May until October 10, 1774, and opened land west of the Allegheny Mountains to further white settlement.
