Andrew Jackson & the Creek Indian wars...



Item # 703071

March 01, 1814

THE WAR, New York, March 1, 1814   All of the front page & over half of pg. 2 are taken up with a very lengthy & detailed report headed: "SEVENTH VICTORY Over The CREEKS" which is a very detailed & descriptive letter signed in type: Andrew Jackson. This report is followed by "Correspondence Between the Secretary of War & Major-General Dearborn" from Sacket's Harbor, & signed in type: H. Dearborn. There are several other letters from Dearborn that carry over to page 3, plus a letter from John Armstrong as well.
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.

Item from last month's catalog - #364 - released for March, 2026.
