WAR OF 1812 NY STATESMAN
WAR OF 1812 NY STATESMAN NEWSPAPERThursday morning, June 17, 1813, No. 258, Vol 1. Multiple columns describe the official British account of the battle between the USS Constitution and HMS Java. A harrowing description of the battle leading up to the "capture and ultimate destruction" of the Java. The surrender is described by First Lieutenant Ducie Chads "..having a great part of our crew killed and wounded, our bowsprit and three masts gone, several guns useless, we should not be justified in wasting the lives of more of those remaining." This historical newspaper provides a contemporary look at what battle with Old Ironsides entailed. Just a few columns away from this account we see a notice for a meeting for the General Committee of Arrangements regarding "celebrating the 37th anniversary of the American Independence". Showing how the struggles of freedom impacted parts of the population is a notice directly below this advertising "A Mulatto wench 25 years old" for sale. There are many other notices and advertisements of interest including a police report regarding stolen silver, a notice for the sale of items made at the state prison, advertising for the Bank of America, and medicines including mercury administered by Dr. Hive. Approx. 13-1/4" L x 20-1/2" H. Wear commensurate with age, use, and materials. Weakness at folds, uneven edges. See images for detail. This item can be shipped in-house.
