THE WAR, New York, Feb. 16, 1813.
* War of 1812 original
* Henry Clay & James Madison
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 entire front page is taken up with:
* An Act in Additional to the Act entitled 'An Act to Raise an Additional Military Force' & for other purposes
which carries over to page 2 where it is signed in type by H. Clay and James Madison.
Also on pg. 2 is another "Act" concerning "An Act for the More Perfect Organization of the army of the United States" also signed by Clay & Madison.
Other items on ptgs. 2 & 3 include: "North-Western Army" "Defeat of Gen. Winchester" "Great National Disaster" "Blockade of the Chesapeake" "Excursion from Ogdensburgh".
More war-related news on the back page as well.
Uncommon newspaper for any war collection with very detailed reading.
Four pages, measures 9 by 11 1/2 in., some rubbing to the ftpg., otherwise rather nice.
