Battle of Frenchtown, and so much more...



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.
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.

Item from Catalog 353 (released for April, 2025)
