THE WAR, New York, Feb. 8, 1814.
* Fall of Fort Niagara
* Bombardment of Falmouth, Maine
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 front page has "Relations With France" which includes documents signed in type by James Madison and James Monroe. Also on the front page is "From Canadian Papers" and "General Orders" which relate to the War of 1812, and "Canadian Legislature".
Inside pages have: "Of An Armistice" and a nice report headed: "Falmouth Bombarded" which takes three-quarters of a column. Also: "Festivals in honor of the Brave", "Military Promotions", and "Interesting Particulars of the Fall of Fort Niagara", which takes over a full column and is very detailed. The back page has a document signed by: James Madison, plus "Naval & Marine Memoranda".
Complete in 4 pages, some scattered foxing throughout, generally in nice condition.
