First report we have seen on the attack of the brig Otter by Indians...

Item # 703933

July 08, 1812

COLUMBIAN CENTINEL, Boston, July 8, 1812 The front page begins with a rarely report event, headed: "Savage Attack on the Brig Otter". Taking over a full column is the: "Account of the Attack Made by the Indians of Chilcaaht on Board the Brig Otter, Samuel Hill, Master, April 12, 1811. This failed attack happened off the coast of Alaska.

Information is so rarely found that it is likely the only contemporary account is in this issue, as a site online notes: "On the return of the Otter to Boston in July 1812 her master, Samuel Hill, wrote and published in the Columbian Centinel an account of the tragic occurrence. It is reproduced later in this article and is offered as a contribution to the detailed history of our coast

and of its maritime traders."
That referenced issue is this one.
Four pages, a bit irregular at the blank spine margin, a few archival and non-archival mends inside, generally in good condition.
