The Pennsylvania Gazette. Philadelphia, PA: June 6, 1754. Numb. 1328. 4pp. 9.5 x 15 in. Contains Benjamin Franklin's imprint at the bottom of page four. With inside page news from Albany, NY of the upcoming Albany Congress, a meeting of representatives sent by the legislatures of seven of the thirteen British North American Colonies to discuss better relations with the American Indian tribes and common defensive measures against the French threat from Canada in the opening stages of the French and Indian War. Delegates did not have the goal of creating an American nation; rather, they were colonists with the more limited mission of pursuing a treaty with the Mohawk and other major Iroquois tribes. This was the first time colonists had met together, which provided a model that came into use in setting up the Stamp Act Congress in 1765 as well as the First Continental Congress in 1774, which were preludes to the American Revolution.
