THE WAR, New York, November 9, 1813
* Barbarities of the enemy
* Recapture of Detroit
* War of 1812 original
This is an interesting and somewhat short-lived newspaper which came into existence for the expressed purpose of reporting news from the War of 1812. When the war ended so did this newspaper.
The front page is entirely taken up with various documents which fall under the heading: "Barbarities of the Enemy" with a subhead reading: "Detention of Mariners as Prisoners of War, who were in England at the Time the War was Declared" (see photos).
Pages 2 & 3 are almost entirely taken up with some nice reports on the War of 1812, with heads including: "Indian News", plus "Col. Clark's Expedition" and "A Proclamation" sigtned in type by: William H. Harrison, which begins: "The enemy having been driven from the territory of Michigan, & a part of the army under my command having taken possession of it..." with more. Also: "Recapture of Detroit", plus "Arrival of Commodore Perry and General Harrison" and "Movements of Gen. Harrison" and even more.
Even the back page is almost entirely taken up with war news, including: "From Sandy Hook" and "Our Late Victories" which begins: "The victories of com. Perry and gen. Harrison, which have resulted in the entire prostration of the enemy's power in the territory of Michigan & in the whole of the northwestern part of Canada..." with much more, taking over a full column.
Complete in 4 pages and in very nice, clean condition. Measures about 9 1/2 by 11 1/2 inches.
