THE WAR, New York, Feb. 2, 1813 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 some very interesting: "Recruiting Instructions" (see photos for a portion of this).
Page 2 has "General Orders" from the Secretary of War, concerning the exchange of prisoners of war. Pg. 2 also has a document signed by the President: Jame Madison, and one by John Rodgers.
Page 3 has: "Privateering" and "Latest from Sacket's Harbor" with the back page containing: "Naval & Marine Memoranda" and "Distress In Canada" and "State of the British Navy" and other tidbits concerning the War of 1812.
Complete in 4 pages, justs a bit of light foxing throughout and very minor rubbing at folds. Measures about 9 1/4 by 11 1/2 inches.
