A Tale of the Moors in Spain and a Heroic Death
The text recounts Boabdil and Ferdinand Isabella's siege of Grenada, focusing on Selim of the Ben Ami tribe and Izarah as they aid Moorish defense. Selim defeats Muley Hamet, Izarah mourns, and they both die to defend each other, with Abdallah and Don Juan de Almara involved. Moorish forces are expelled from Spain. A second item notes a Martha's Vineyard woman seeking pension for aiding the American cause in 1776 by destroying a Liberty pole.
