THE WAR, New York, Feb. 22, 1814 Most of the front page is taken up with: "Fifth Victory Over the Creeks" as well as: "Sixth Victory Over the Creeks".
Notable content inside includes: "Failure of Our Arms on the Northern Frontier" which is prefaced with a "Message" signed in type: James Madison and which includes documents signed by H. Dearborn and John Armstrong. Also within: "Fortunate Escape" "Desperate Action" which is a report of a naval encounter datelined Wilmington, North Carolina

Four pages, 9 by 11 1/4 inches, tiny binding holes at the blank spine, good 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.
