THE WAR, New York, Jan. 18, 1814.
* War of 1812 original
* Fort George & Niagara capture
Here is a fascinating 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.
The front page includes: "To Thomas Barclay, British Agent for Prisoners at New York".
The other pages are filled with war-related news including those headed: "Niagara Frontier" "British Official Accounts of the Recapture of Fort George & Capture of Fort Niagara" "Summary" "Naval Exploits" "Naval & marine Memoranda" and more.
The entire back page is taken up with the "New Year's Address" of the carriers of this newspaper.
Four pages, measures 9 1/4by 11 1/2 in., some scattered foxing & a few ink stain, generally nice condition.
