October 23, 1813

THE WEEKLY REGISTER, Baltimore, Oct. 23, 1813

* Battle of the Thames
* William Henry Harrison
* War of 1812


Certainly the most significant report in this issue is the report of Harrison's significant victory at the Battle of the Thames, during which the Indian leader Tecumseh was killed, collapsing the Indian confederacy & their support of the British in the War of 1812. 
Reported in his own words is the letter from Harrison beginning: "I have the honor to inform you that by the blessing of Providence, the army under my command has this evening obtained a complete victory over the combined Indian &  British forces under the command of general Proctor..." with more, signed in type: Wm. H. Harrison.
This is immediately followed by a much lengthier letter signed in type by Harrison concerning the details of the battle, taking over two pages.
There is also much more on the War of 1812 including "Barbarities of the Enemy" "The Friends of the Navy" "War Prospects" and even more.
Sixteen pages, 6 by 9 1/4 inches, scattered foxing, some inked notations at two margins, nice condition.

As noted in Wikipedia, this title: "...(was) one of the most widely-circulated magazines in the United States...Devoted primarily to politics...considered an important source for the history of the period."
