THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, Boston, Sept. 15, 1815
* Battle of Chippewa - Ontario
* General Winfield Scott victory
Page 2 has over two columns taken up with: "Battle of Chippewa - Military Court Of Inquiry" which is prefaced with: "In the following article the reader will find a very clear & consistent statement of many occurrences in the battle of Chippewa which were omitted in the official report of the day."
The Battle of Chippewa was fought in July, 1814, over a year earlier, but this text is a court inquiry on the events, providing considerable detail.
Page 3 has a brief bit concerning the "Treaty With England" as well as a letter signed by Stephen Decatur from the U.S.S. Guerriere off Cape Palos.
Four pages, a few stains, and inked doodling, good condition.
