Item # 695213
November 23, 1813
THE WAR, New York, Nov. 23, 1813 Most of the front page is taken up with: "Barbarities Of The Enemy...Detention of Mariners as Prisoners of War, who were in England at the Time the War Was Declared" being part of a continued series. Also on the front page: "South-Western Army".
Inside includes: "Movements of the Armies" being a report from Albany, and "Submission of the Northern Indians--A Proclamation by Wm. H. Harrison..." signed by him in type. Also: "From Chesapeake Bay" and "Melancholy Accident" plus various other short reports relating to the War of 1812.
The back page has "Important Documents which includes a letter from George Prevost, and "Lower Canada" plus "Military Force of the Canadas".
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.
