THE WAR, New York, January 16, 1813
* Printed exclusively to report on the War of 1812
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 the "Speech" of Mr. D. R. Williams to the House of Representatives.
Pages 2 & 3 have various items on the War of 1812 including: "Impressment" "Relief to the Distressed" a letter from a Georgia volunteer from Camp Newhope, "Steel's Navy List" "Naval & Marine Memoranda" and a few other items.
The back page has some items on the war as well including a list noting, by ship, of "American Killed & Wounded" and "British Killed & Wounded" and a few other items.
Four pages, measures 9 1/4 by 11 1/2 inches, damp staining near the top and bottom not causing any loss of readability.
