THE WAR, New York, Dec. 12, 1812 This is an interesting and somewhat short-lived newspaper which came into existence for the expressed purpose of reporting news from the War of 1812. When the war ended so did this newspaper. The ftpg. has a report of the naval battle between the Wasp and the Frolic, signed by: Jas. Jones. Also front page: "Brief Sketch of the Seat of War". Inside has: "Employment of the Indians" and "Another Brilliant Naval Victory" between the Macedonian & the United States with some nice detail. Much other war-related reporting as well. Complete in 4 pages, bit of light foxing & edge damp staining, minor rubbing at folds.
