Terrific & detailed issue on the Battle of New Orleans...



Item # 715490

February 09, 1815

MIDDLESEX GAZETTE, Middletown, Connecticut, Feb. 9, 1815  A wealth of great content on this historic Battle of New Orleans, a major victory for General Andrew Jackson. Curiously, this battle was actually fought after the treaty ending the War of 1812 was signed, not known in Louisiana at the time.
The front page has: "Of New Orleans", followed by: "Very Good News from New Orleans", then an: "Extract of a Private Letter, dated Camp near New Orleans", then two more letters from New Orleans.
Also: "Official Letters" which features three, each signed in type: Andrew Jackson, Maj. Gen. Commanding, in which he details the historic battle. 
Coverage continues on the inside, including: "Gen. Jackson" and: "GLORIOUS NEWS - Later From New Orleans, Brilliant Defeat Of The British Army" which is very detailed.
Four pages, great condition.
