THE WAR, New York, November 21, 1812
* War of 1812 events in the South
* Rare title - John Rodgers
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.
The entire front page is taken up with a report datelined "Mobile Settlement, Sept. 30, 1812" and headed: "Our Southern Frontier" which carries over to take one-third of page 2.
Other War of 1812 reports on the inside pg. include: "General Orders" "From Lake Ontario" "From Canada" "Improvements In Warfare" "In Congress".
There is more war content on the back page including a letter signed by Commodore John Rodgers to the Secretary of the Navy datelined from the frigate President.
Four pages, measures 9 1/4 by 11 1/2 inches, slightly irregular at the spine otherwise in great condition.
