THE WAR, New York, Oct. 10, 1812  The front page is entirely taken up with "Copies of Letters" including 3 signed in type: D. Porter, 2 datelined "at sea" and the third: "mouth of the Delaware"; plus a letter from Adm. J. T. Duckworth to David Porter.
Inside has a letter signed: Eben. Huntington; "Military Movements" "Surrender of Fort Dearborn, (Chicago)" "Appointments" and more.
The back page is almost entirely taken up with a great & detailed letter: "Defence of Fort Harrison, datelined from there & signed in type: Z. Taylor. The Siege of Fort Harrison (near present-day Terre Haute) was the first major land victory for the Americans during the War of 1812.
Four pages, 9 by 11 1/4 inches, very nice condition.

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.
