Episode 2 of 4
First publication in Pennsylvania newspapers
- When
- July 7, 1768
- Where
- Pennsylvania Journal and Pennsylvania Gazette
The Liberty Song first appeared in the Pennsylvania Journal and the Pennsylvania Gazette on July 7, 1768, not in Boston.
The song's first publication occurred in two colonial newspapers, the Pennsylvania Journal and the Pennsylvania Gazette, both on July 7, 1768. The legacy row's claim of a Boston Gazette publication on July 18, 1768 is unsupported by the supplied passages and is corrected accordingly; Boston is therefore not admitted as an occurrence place.
