This original newspaper contains a front page report from BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS with news of a Rhode Island privateer led by Captain John Dennis capturing French ships during KING GEORGE'S WAR, one of the four FRENCH AND INDIAN WARS in the AMERICAS. Displayable front page news coverage of naval conflict in the Americas by privateers during the 3rd French and Indian War (known as KING GEORGE'S WAR) King George's War (1744–1748) is the name given to the military operations in North America that formed part of the War of the Austrian Succession (1740–1748). It was the third of the four French and Indian Wars. It took place primarily in the British provinces of New York, Massachusetts Bay (which included Maine as well as Massachusetts at the time), New Hampshire (which included Vermont at the time), and Nova Scotia. Its most significant action was an expedition organized by Massachusetts Governor William Shirley that besieged and ultimately captured the French fortress of Louisbourg, on Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, in 1745. In French, it is known as the Troisième Guerre Intercoloniale or Third Intercolonial War. The Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle ended the war in 1748 and restored Louisbourg to France, but failed to resolve any outstanding territorial issues. John Dennis was the Commander of Privateer Prince Frederick in 1743, 1744 and 1746, of Privateer Defiance in 1744, 1745 and 1746, and of Privateer Jonathan in 1747 during King George's War.
