Battle of Talladega... Andy Jackson & Wm. H. Harrison...



Item # 703064

January 11, 1814

THE WAR, New York, Jan. 11, 1814  

* Battle of Talladega - Alabama
* General Andrew Jackson
* Red Sticks - Creek Indians
* William Henry Harrison


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 by 11 1/4 inches, tiny binding holes at the blank spine, nice condition.

This is a fascinating, short-lived newspaper, having begun in 1812 with the exclusive purpose of reporting on the War of 1812 (hence the title). When the war ended, so did this newspaper.
