Item # 695210

July 13, 1813

THE WAR, New York, July 13, 1813 The front page has: "Progress of the War In Virginia--Smithfield Attacked--British Monsters--Alarm--Alacrity of the Citizens--and Safety of the City".
Inside contains: "The Chesapeake" "A Proclamation" signed: George Prevost; "Affair at Beaver Dams" "Capture of the British Tender Eagle" "North-Western Army" "Naval & Marine Memoranda" "Retaliation" "Great Battle" and more.
Four pages, 9 1/4 by 11 1/2 inches, very light damp stain 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.
