Printed exclusively to report on the War of 1812...

Item # 716571 ·
THE WAR, New York, Jan. 16, 1813 The entire front page is the "Speech" of Mr. D. R. Williams to the House of Representatives with much content relating to the War of 1812. Pages 2 & 3 have various items on the War of 1812 including: "Impressment" "Relief to the Distressed" a letter from a Georgia volunteer from Camp Newhope, "Steel's Navy List" "Naval & Marine Memoranda" and a few other items. The back page has some items on the war as well including a list noting, by ship, of "American Killed & Wounded" and "British Killed & Wounded" and a few other items.
Four pages, 9 3/4 by 12 1/4 inches, never-trimmed margins, very nice, clean 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.
