[NEWSPAPERS]. [REVOLUTIONARY WAR]. Postscript Extraordinary to the Pennsylvania Ledger. [Philadelphia]: March 9, [1775]. 1pp broadside. 16 x 9 3/4". FEATURES MULTIPLE ITEMS ON AMERICAN RESISTANCE TO BRITISH TAXATION. "On Thursday last a copy of the petition from the American Congress to the King was delivered to Lord Dartmouth for the purpose of shewing it to his Majesty before it is presented to him by the Agents. It contains a state of grievances, a solicitation for the removal of the evil counsellors, and a claim that the colonies are exempt from taxation by the British parliament." The hostilities of the Revolutionary War would begin one month later with the "shot heard round the world" at the Battles of Lexington and Concord.
