Much on the Constitution & the Java...
Item # 695207
June 29, 1813
THE WAR, New York, June 29, 1813 The entire front page is taken up with: "British Official Account of the Capture of the Java" as well as: "Constitution And Java" which carries over to take most of page 2 as well. Terrific detail & great to have these reports in a newspaper focused on the War of 1812.
Other items inside include: "British Account of the Capture of 2 of our Armed Vessels on Lake Champlain" "General Orders" "Official Account of the Action at Stony Creek" "From Norfolk" "From Lake Ontario" "The Chesapeake" and more.
Four pages, 9 1/4 by 11 1/2 inches, light damp staining at the bottom, nice 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.
