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.

Pages 2 & 3 are filled with various War of 1812 reports including items headed: "Naval Dinners" "Dreadful Conflict" "Dinner of the Brave Tars" "Further Of the Victory on Erie" which includes the very famous & historic dispatch signed in type: O. H. Perry and which begins: "We have met the enemy--and they are ours....", certainly one of the more famous utterances in this history of America. Terrific to have this quote in a period newspaper, and a military newspaper at that!

A report headed: "Events Of The War" contains 5 pages of War of 1812 accounts with subheads including: "Commodore Rodgers' Squadron" "President & Belvidera" with a detailed account of the naval affair signed in type: Isaac Hull. The most historic report is one headed: "Destruction OF The Guerriere" datelined on board the frigate Constitution, with the report signed in type: Isaac Hull. Included is a list of killed & wounded. Yet another page has an editorial-type report titled: "The Constitution and Guerriere" with the report beginning: "The capture of this Englishman, all things considered, is one of the most splendid achievements in maritime history..." with more. Complete in 16 pages, measures about 6 3/4 by 10 1/4 inches, light browning with minor spine wear, otherwise in nice condition.</div> wikipedia notes: HMS Guerriere was a British 3-masted sail frigate of 38 guns captured from the French, and commanded by Captain James R. Dacres when she met the USS Constitution in her last battle. During the afternoon of 19 August 1812, Latitude 40.20 N and Longitude 55.00 West about 400 miles S.E. of Halifax, a sail was sighted on the weather beam bearing down on them. She was soon made out to be a man of war and Guerriere prepared for action mustering 244 men and 19 boys at quarters. When the enemy hoisted American colours, Captain James Richard Dacres permitted the Americans in his crew to quit their guns. The two ships exchanged broadsides for half an hour before the enemy closed her starboard beam and sent HMS Guerriere's mizen mast overboard. Switching to the other bow, the enemy raked HMS Guerriere and swept her decks with grape and musket fire, and then attempted to board. Mr Samuel Grant, master's mate commanding the forecastle, was badly wounded and about the same time Mr Rober Scott, the master, was shot through the knee and the Captain severely wounded. Capt. Dacres ordered Lieut. Bartholomew Kent to lead the marines and boarders from the main deck towards the forcastle but the two ships parting at that moment meant that they were able to bring some of the bow guns to bear on the enemy. Mr William J. Snow, master's mate, commanded the fore-most main deck guns and Mr John Garby, acting purser, the after quarter deck guns. The two ships were clear of each other when Guerriere's fore and main-masts went over the side leaving her an unmanageable wreck. They managed to clear the wreckage but while they were rolling with the main deck guns under water, the enemy wore round within pistol-shot to rake them. At this point Capt. Dacres called his remaining officers together and they agreed to strike the colours to avoid further loss of life. 15 were killed, including the second lieutenant, Mr Henry Ready; six mortally wounded, 39 severely and eighteen slightly wounded. Lieut. Kent was wounded by a splinter early on. They found that the enemy was the USS Constitution, Capt. Isaac Hull, of thirty 24- pounders on the main deck, twenty-four 32-pounders and two bored out 18-pounders on the upper deck. Out of 476 men 9 were killed and 13 wounded. Capt. Dacres was surprised and shocked to find a large proportion of British seamen amongst her crew, a number of whom had joined in the boarding party. Guerriere was too badly damaged to take in so, as soon as the wounded had been taken out, she was set on fire by her captors, and Constituion returned to Boston.

THE WAR, from New York, dated September 28, 1813  * Battle of Lake Erie * 'Stop the press' This is a fascinating, short-lived newspaper, having begun in 1812 with the exclusive purpose of reporting on the War of 1812 (hence the title). When the war ended, so did this newspaper. Among the front page reports are: "Chesapeake and Shannon--Once More with some reports on that historic naval battle, also: "A Tribute To Valor", and "Bold Push" among other items. The prime content in this issue takes all of pg. 2, headed: "Glorious Victory on Lake Erie!" and which carries over to pg. 4 as well. It begins with the historic dispatch reading in part: "It has pleased the Almighty to give to the arms of the United States a signal victory over their enemies on this lake..." signed in type: O.H. Perry. This is dated Sept. 10, the date of the actual Battle of Lake Erie. This is followed by a much more detailed account of the actual battle, taking half of the page and also signed in type: O.H. Perry. Yet a third document signed by Perry, in addition to the "List of killed & wounded on board the U.S. Squadron under command of O.H. Perry in the action of the 10th September, 1813". Pg. 4 has great content as well including a continuation of the killed & wounded list, plus "Com. Chauncey's Cruise", and "Another Glorious Victory!! which begins with the note: "We stop the press after one-third of our papers are worked off..." with more (see). A rare and great "stop the press" statement! Also on pg. 4: "Victory On Lake Erie" "From England" "From Halifax" "Naval & Marine Memoranda" & other items. Four pages, measures 9 1/4 by 11 1/2 inches, a small piece from the lower right corner of the front leaf just touches one letter on pages 1 & 2 with no loss of readability, otherwise in great condition.

NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, Washington, October 21, 1813 * Battle of the Thames * Moraviantown * War of 1812 original * William Henry Harrison On page 2 under "Harrison's Victory" is a letter from Maj.-Gen. Harrison to the Sec. of War in which he describes the historic Battle of the Thames. The letter is quite detailed taking two columns on pg. 2 & 1 2/3 columns on pg .3, signed in type: William H. Harrison. Also on pg. 3 are the "General Orders Of Debarkation, Of March, & Of Battle", being quite detailed as well, signed in type: Edmund P. Gaines. Other news of the day with more on the war. Bit of staining & some minor loss in the left margin, some foxing, otherwise good. 4 pages. wikipedia notes: On October 5, after ordering his troops to abandon their half-cooked breakfast and retreat a further two miles, Procter formed the British regulars in line of battle at Moraviantown and planned to trap Harrison on the banks of the Thames, driving the Americans off the road with cannon fire. Tecumseh's warriors took up positions in a swamp on the British right to flank the Americans. General Harrison surveyed the battlefield and ordered James Johnson (brother of Richard Mentor Johnson) to make a frontal attack against the British regulars with his mounted Kentucky riflemen. Despite the Indians' flanking fire, Johnson broke through, the British cannon having failed to fire. The exhausted, dispirited and half-starved British troops fired only one ragged fusillade before giving way. Immediately Procter and about 250 of his men fled from the field. The rest surrendered. Tecumseh and his followers remained and carried on fighting. Richard Johnson was at the head of about 20 horsemen and charged into the Indian position to draw attention away from the main American force, but Tecumseh and his warriors answered with a volley of musket fire that stopped the cavalry charge. Fifteen of Johnson's men were killed or wounded, and Johnson was himself hit five times. Johnson's main force became bogged down in the mud of the swamp. Tecumseh was killed in this fighting. Colonel Johnson may have been the one who shot Tecumseh, though the evidence is unclear. William Whitley, a Revolutionary War veteran, is another credited with the killing of Tecumseh. Whitley, of Crab Orchard, Kentucky, volunteered for the raid on Tecumseh's camp. He requested that General Harrison have his scalp removed when his body was found and sent to his wife. The main force finally made its way through the swamp, and James Johnson's troops were freed from their attack on the British. With the American reinforcements converging and news of the death of Tecumseh spreading quickly, Indian resistance quickly dissolved. Mounted troops then moved on and burned Moraviantown, a peaceful settlement of Christian Munsee Indians, who had no involvement in the conflict. The British had 12 killed, 35 wounded, and 442 others taken prisoner. The Indians left the bodies of 33 warriors on the field, although they removed several others (including that of Tecumseh).

WEEKLY AURORA, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, February 21, 1815  * Full text of the treaty ending the War of 1812 This is likely the most historic report of the War of 1812, as beginning on page 2 and continuing to take all of page 3 and some of page 4 is the full text headed: "TREATY OF PEACE" which is prefaced with an address by "James Madison, President of the United States of America..." which begins: "Whereas,a treaty of Peace and Amity between the United States of America and his Britannic Majesty was signed at Ghent..." with ads bit more, which is followed by the full text of the treaty when ended the war, including all eleven articles. It is signed in type by the President: James Madison (see photos for portions). Also in this issue is an article: "Victory At Orleans" which begins: "The resolutions from the senate expressive of the thanks of Congress to gen. Jackson & the troops under his commend for their gallantry in defense of New Orleans..." with more, and further on is another article headed: "The War--From New Orleans" (see for portions). Curiously, the Battle of New Orleans was fought after the treaty of peace was signed, but due to the time lag it was not known until after the battle. Complete in 8 pages, wide, untrimmed margins, scattered foxing throughout, generally nice condition. Measures 11 1/4 by 15 inches.

Perhaps the best content in this issue is the very nice full page chart headed: "NAVAL BATTLES" which lists the various naval actions of the War of 1812, with columns headed "Action Between" "When" "Where fought" "Commander's Name" and several more (see photos). This chart includes a great wealth of content & is accompanied by an article headed: "The War on the Ocean" which takes 5 1/2 pgs. (see for portions). Among the other reports in this issue are: * an article headed: "Indian Treaties, James Madison" which is concerning a treaty with the Poutawatamie Indians on the River Illinois, signed in type: James Madison * "Legislature of Georgia" reports * over a full page on "Naval Affairs" * various congressional reports noting political events of the day. This issue is complete in 16 pages, unbound and untrimmed, measures about 6 1/2 by 10 inches with very light foxing. Generally in nice condition. As noted in Wikipedia: "Niles edited and published the Weekly Register until 1836, making it into one of the most widely-circulated magazines in the United States and himself into one of the most influential journalists of his day. Devoted primarily to politics, Niles' Weekly Register is considered an important source for the history of the period."

As noted in Wikipedia: "Niles edited and published the Weekly Register until 1836, making it into one of the most widely-circulated magazines in the United States and himself into one of the most influential journalists of his day. Devoted primarily to politics, Niles' Weekly Register is considered an important source for the history of the period." Most of page 2 is taken up with an article headed: "Mr. Jefferson's Library - Mr. Jefferson's Offer of Congress of His Library" which is a letter, signed in type by him: Th. Jefferson, datelined Monticello, Sept. 21, 1814. It begins: "I learn from the newspapers that the vandalism of our enemy has triumphed at Washington over science as well as the arts by the destruction of the public library with the noble edifice in which it was deposited..." followed by details concerning his offer to provide his personal & extensive library of books to the Library of Congress. The Library of Congress was destroyed in August 1814, when invading British troops set fire to the Capitol building and the small library of 3,000 volumes. Within a month, former President Jefferson offered his personal library as a replacement. Jefferson had spent 50 years accumulating a wide variety of books, including ones in foreign languages and volumes of philosophy, science, literature, and other topics not normally viewed as part of a legislative library, such as cookbooks, writing that, "...I do not know that it contains any branch of science which Congress would wish to exclude from their collection; there is, in fact, no subject to which a Member of Congress may not have occasion to refer..." (see photos). In January 1815, Congress accepted Jefferson's offer, appropriating $23,950 for his 6,487 books. Among the other reports in this issue are: *  "Cruise of the Wasp" from he War of 1812 *  "American Prizes" *  "Events of the War" which has much content concerning the War of 1812, taking over 4 pages *  Various reports from Congress This issue is complete in 16 pages, measures about 6 1/2 by 10 inches with very light foxing. Generally in nice condition.

<div>THE WEEKLY REGISTER, Baltimore, Sept. 25, 1813.   * Battle of Lake Erie * Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry </div> <div> An inside page has content From Lake Erie which includes a dispatch from Commodore Perry to the Secretary of the Navy (dated September 10, 1813, 4 P.M.) mentioning a signal victory against the British on Lake Erie, stating that the enemy squadron ..."have at this moment surrendered to the force under my command...," signed in type: O.H. Perry. Below this is another dispatch (same date as the previous one) from Perry to the Secretary containing one of the most famous comments in the history of military communications: "We have met the enemy ; and they are ours...", signed in type: O. H. Perry. There is yet another dispatch from Perry, plus a detailed letter from Perry to Gen. Harrison describing his thrilling and historical naval engagement against the British on Lake Erie during the War of 1812, also signed in type: O. H. Perry. Other war-related content as well. Octavo-size, 16 pages, front page has a slightly rough left spine (absolutely no loss of text - completely within the margin - see image), otherwise, very good. Historical Background: The two squadrons met near Put-in-Bay, Ohio, on September 10. The wind was light. Barclay initially held the weather gauge, but the wind shifted and allowed Perry to close and attack. Perry hoped to get his two big brigs, his flagship USS Lawrence and USS Niagara into carronade range quickly. However, the Niagaraunder Elliotwas slow to come into action (it may have been obstructed by the unhandy Caledonia) and aboard the Lawrence, Perry had to face three British ships alone. This would prove a matter of dispute between the men for many years. Although the American gunboats steadily pounded the British ships from a distance, Lawrence was eventually reduced to a wreck. Four-fifths of its crew were killed or wounded. Both of the fleets surgeons were sick with lake fever, so the wounded were taken care of by the assistant, Usher Parsons. Perry decided to transfer his flag. He was rowed a half mile (1 km) through heavy gunfire to the Niagara while the Lawrence was surrendered. Once aboard Niagara, Perry dispatched Elliot to bring the gunboats into closer action, while he led Niagara at Barclays damaged ships. Niagaras broadsides severely wounded Barclay. Detroit collided with another British ship, HMS Queen Charlotte, and both ships surrendered, being unmanageable and their commanders having been killed or wounded. The smaller British gunboats tried to flee but were overtaken and also surrendered. Although Perry won the battle on the Niagara, he received the British surrender on the deck of the recaptured Lawrence so as to allow the British to see the terrible price his men had suffered. source: wikipedia</div>

<div>COLUMBIAN CENTINEL, Boston, Feb. 22, 1815.   * Treaty of Ghent Ratified * War of 1812 Officially Ends * President James Madison On page 2 under a bold heading: Ratified TREATY Of PEACE And AMITY is A PROCLAMATION issued by JAMES MADISON stating that a treaty with His Britannic Majesty was signed at Ghent on December 24, 1814, and ratified by the U.S. Senate on February 17, 1815, thus ending the War of 1812, signed in type: James Madison. Hereafter is the text of the Treaty Of Peace and Amity containing eleven articles, and signed in type: John Quincy Adams, J. A. Bayard, H. Clay, Albert Gallatin, and several other French and American officials. Concludes with a statement issued by the President asking all citizens to honor and respect the terms of the treaty, signed in type: James Madison. Other news of the day. Has stray writing above the masthead, spine is a bit irregular, otherwise in nice condition. Historical Background: The Treaty of Ghent, signed on December 24, 1814, in Ghent, Flanders (Belgium), United Kingdom of the Netherlands, ended the War of 1812 between the United States and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Signatories for the UK included James Lord Gambier, Henry Goulburn, and William Adams. The Peace Commission representing the United States included John Quincy Adams, James A. Bayard, Senior, Henry Clay, Jonathan Russell, and Albert Gallatin. In signing the treaty, the Americans ended up abandoning both of their primary goals in starting the war: to expand their territory by seizing control of the British colonies to the north in what would later become Canada (although their territory was expanded in some places), and to stop the forcible boarding of sovereign U.S. ships on the high seas by the warships of the Royal Navy searching for deserters and enforcing the British blockade against Napoelon and the resulting impressment of US citizens into the Royal Navy. However, as the Napoleonic Wars ended, the second issue began to fade on its own as the Royal Navy had less need for sailors, and in fact had stopped the process even before the war had begun. The Treaty called for both countries to look at the abolition of the slave trade. It also called for the US to halt all hostilities with Native Americans (though it was only two years after the close of the war that Americans started attacking Seminoles, in 1816). Fighting continued for several weeks after signing the treaty, including the Battle of New Orleans, because news of the treaty took time to reach North America. However, by terms of the treaty, the war was not officially over until ratifications were exchanged and the treaty proclaimed. The U.S. Senate unanimously advised ratification on February 16, 1815. President James Madison ratified the treaty on February 17 at which time the ratifications were exchanged. The treaty was proclaimed on February 18. source: wikipedia</div>

<div>SALEM GAZETTE, Salem, Massachusetts , April 7, 1812     * James Madison  * War Of 1812...  Shipping Embargo  Page 3 has an atypically large head: Another EMBARGO and a brief report confirming the imposition of another embargo. Says the message reached Boston in 76 hours from Washington. Originally a 60-day embargo that was proposed by President Madison, it was changed to a 90-day embargo by moderate members of Congress who believed a peaceful settlement with Great Britain was still possible. The embargo was especially unpopular in New England (and in some Southern states) where shipping was an important industry. In addition to opposing the commercial restrictions created by the embargo, the New England states also opposed war with Great Britain, eventually referring to the war as Mr. Madisons War. Quite unusual to see a head this size during this period. Some margin dirtiness, staining at the edges. Untrimmed in good condition otherwise. 4 pages.</div>
