NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, from Washington D.C., dated February 2, 1813 * General William H. Winder * War of 1812 from the nation's capital Page 2 has a detailed "communication" from Col. Winder to Gen. Smythe about the attack on the enemy's lines, opposite and below Black Rock, signed in type: Wm. H. Winder. The front page has "An Act" providing pensions for the survivors of "..any officer of the Navy or marines..." killed in the line of duty, signed in type: James Madison. Other news of the day. Trimmed close at the top causing minor, unrelated loss, tiny loss in the lower left corner, some foxing, otherwise good. 4 pages. wikipedia notes: William Henry Winder (1775 – 1824) was an American soldier and a Maryland lawyer. He was a controversial general in the U.S. Army during the War of 1812. Winder was born in Somerset County, Maryland. He was the nephew of Levin Winder. He graduated at the University of Pennsylvania, and from 1798 to 1812 practiced law in Baltimore.[1] He was commissioned as a colonel in the U.S. Army at the start of the War of 1812. Promoted to brigadier general, he was one of two acting commanders of the American army at the Battle of Stoney Creek in July 1813, where he was captured, along with fellow commander John Chandler. Exchanged the following year, Winder was appointed commander of the defenses of Washington and Baltimore by President James Madison on July 4, 1814. In August General Ross with several thousand troops advanced upon Washington. Winder had only a few hundred regulars, and a mob of some thousands of militia to oppose them. The Americans met the British at the Battle of Bladensburg on August 24, 1814. He failed to show effective command in the battle, retreated in the ensuing rout, and the capital fell into the hands of the invaders. Winder was afterward court-martialed, but was acquitted of all blame.[2] Winder later testified at the impeachment trial of Associate Supreme Court Justice Samuel Chase. One of his sons, John H. Winder, was a brigadier general in the Confederate army during the American Civil War.

THE WAR, New York, 1812-1814 Here is a fascinating quarto-size newspaper which started in 1812 and ended at the conclusion of the War of 1812. The expressed purpose of this newspaper was to report events of the War of 1812, and almost all text on all 4 pages deals exclusively with just that. Uncommon newspaper for any war collection with very detailed reading. Nice.
