Item # 695202
September 07, 1813
THE WAR, New York, Sept. 7, 1813 Could any other title better define the focus of this newspaper?
Among the front page reports are: "Desperate Action" which as a Charleston dateline; "Fort Madison Again Attacked" "The Contrast" and "The Attack on Sandusky".
Inside page items include a letter from Upper Sandusky signed in type by: Wm. H. Harrison; "Commodore Rodgers" "The North-Western Army" "Summary" "Attack on the Pickets at Fort George" and "Loss of a British Sloop of War" among other items.Four pages, 9 1/4 by 11 1/2 inches, some light dirtiness to the front page, some scattered foxing, good condition.
This is a fascinating, short-lived newspaper, having begun in 1812 for the exclusive purpose of reporting on the War of 1812 (hence the title) with no advertisements. When the war ended, so did this newspaper.
