On the recapture of Forts George and Niagara...
Item # 703065
January 18, 1814
THE WAR, New York, Jan. 18, 1814 The front page includes: "To Thomas Barclay, British Agent for Prisoners at New York". The other pages are filled with war-related news including those headed: "Niagara Frontier" "British Official Accounts of the Recapture of Fort George & Capture of Fort Niagara" "Summary" "Naval Exploits" "Naval & Marine Memoranda" and more.
The entire back page is taken up with the "New Year's Address" of the carriers of this newspaper.
Four pages, 9 by 11 1/4 inches, tiny binding holes at the blank spine, scattered foxing, good 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.
