January 11, 1814

THE WAR, New York, Jan. 11, 1814  On the front page under "Battle Of Talledega" is a dispatch about this battle, signed in type: Andrew Jackson. Included is a list of the killed and wounded. The balance of the front page is filled with war-related news.
Inside has a lengthy letter concerning murders committed by Indians, signed in type: Wm. H. Harrison; "Events On the Niagara Frontier" "General Orders" "From the Niagara Frontier" and a letter to the British Sec. of State signed by: James Monroe.
Four pages, 9 1/4 by 11 1/2 inches, very 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.
