(see photos for portions), including the note signed in type: James Madison, and the detailed battle report signed: William Henry Harrison. There is also another report datelined "Vincennes, 4th Dec. 1811" on the battle, signed: William Henry Harrison.
Included also are the census reports for Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina, including a column for "Slaves". Included is the Supplement issue.
Complete in 24 pages, 6 by 9 1/2 inches, various foxing & damp staining throughout, and a paper flaw inside affects a few words in the Harrison report. Also a small piece torn away at the bottom right corner of the front page.
As noted in Wikipedia, this title: "...(was) one of the most widely-circulated magazines in the United States...Devoted primarily to politics...considered an important source for the history of the period."
