Pamphlet written in 1677 which was entitled "Strange News from Virginia; being a full and true account of the life and death of Nathanael Bacon
Esquire." This short article described the Bacon as the cause of the troubles in the colony, which was a reference this first rebellion in the American
colonies in which frontiersmen, led by Bacon, rebelled against Governor William Berkeley and his failure to protect the western frontier. Of note, the
text claimed Bacon died from "inbibing(sic)," although historians indicated that he died of dysentery. (Digitized from a microfilm copy of title
originally held by the Library of Congress).
