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.
