Item # 710794
March 23, 1813
THE WAR, New York, March 23, 1813 The front page is taken up with: "Our Relations With France" made up of several correspondences signed in type by: James Madison, James Monroe, and Napoleon.
Over one-third of page 2 is taken up with: "Battle of Frenchtown" being a letter signed in type: J. Winchester. Also: "British Official Account of the Capture of Ogdensburgh - General Orders". Elsewhere: "The Chesapeake" "The Delaware" "From Sacket's Harbor" "British Warfare" "New Enemies of the United States" and more.
Note: The Battle of Frenchtown, also known as the Battle of the River Raisin and the River Raisin Massacre, was a pivotal and tragic engagement during the War of 1812. Fought between January 18 and 23, 1813, near the River Raisin in Frenchtown (present-day Monroe, Michigan), it marked one of the deadliest conflicts on Michigan soil and a significant defeat for American forces.
Four pages, 9 by 11 1/4 inches, very 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.
