1777 Tory Almanac. Printed in 1776 for the impending twelve months, this twenty-one page almanac includes complete weather information for each month, as well as a detailed map of battle lines in the midst of the American Revolution, an address to the author's fellow Tories, a poem, and a guide to the roads near Boston. Handwritten notations in the margins of an interior page. Unbound. Measuring 4¼ x 7", this handy annual is yellowed with age, with foxing and slight water damage. Still, in fair condition.
Because of the outcome of the Revolutionary War and the subsequent departure of many Tory sympathizers, along with the efforts made by many to hide their affiliation with those sympathizers, very few paper items (particularly from so early in the struggle) remain availible. This is a wonderful opportunity.
Estimated Value $250 - 350.
