The front page has: "The Creek Indians" which includes a letter from Fort William signed in type: Andrew Jackson. Also on the front page: "Tribute To Personal Valor" which is in honor of Commodore O.H. Perry; and "Naval Warfare".
Reports inside include: "Saucy Jack's Cruise" "Privateer Scourge" "Capture of the Pelham" "Important News" "Abdication of Bonaparte" "From Sacket's Harbor" "Alarm at Pulteneyville" "A Proclamation" from Alex Cochrane; "From Halifax" and even more.
Four pages, 9 by 11 1/4 inches, archivally rejoined at the spine, various water stains.
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.
