Item # 716099
·
CONNECTICUT MIRROR, Hartford, Feb. 6, 1815 Page 2 has several reports concerning War of 1812 events near Savannah & St. Mary's, Georgia.
After the formal end of the War of 1812 with the Treaty of Ghent, a final British campaign in Georgia involved the occupation of Cumberland Island and the town of St. Marys. While the war officially ended on December 24, 1814, news of the peace treaty hadn't reached all locations. The British, under Rear Admiral George Cockburn, planned a major invasion of Georgia, targeting Savannah, but were halted by news of the treaty before they could reach the city.
These events were not commonly reports in newspapers of the day.
Page 2 also has four letters from New Orleans, all from just before the battle fought there on January 8, two of which are signed in type by: Andrew Jackson.
Four pages, a stain to a lower portion of the right margin causing no loss of readability, otherwise a few minor stains, good condition.
