Battle of Chippawa...
Item # 713663
August 09, 1814
THE WAR, New York, Aug. 9, 1814 Most of the front page is taken up with a great account headed: "Battle Of Chippawa" which includes a letter signed in type by: W. Scott, Gen. 1st Brigade. There is also a front page letter datelined "Queenston Heights, July 16, 1814" with much on the war.
Page 2 has: "British Official Account" and "British Force in & Destined for North America". Page 3 includes: "Capture of the U. S. Brig Rattlesnake" and "Battle of Bridgewater" among other war item. Even the back page has War of 1812 content including "Capture of The Rattlesnake".
Four pages, 9 1/4 by 11 1/2 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.
