DESCRIPTION:This rather scarce and early 19th centuryAmerican literary account by H. M. Brackenridge of the post US War of Independence struggle with Great Britain, is an account of the infamous continuation of the earlier struggle, manifesting itself in the early 19th century, as the 'Late War between the US and Great Britain,' or more easily said, the 'War of 1812,' which was most noted by its fierce and decisive naval engagements between the nascentAmericanRepublic's navy and that of the King's navy ofGreatBritain. It's a complete volume, containing profuse, often full page woodblock plate illustrations of many of the naval engagements between the US andGreatBritainon the Great Lakes and other places, one notable naval battle occurring between the USS Wasp and theBritishvessel HMS Frolic out in the open Atlantic, where the Frolic was captured by the Americans on the Wasp. US Commodore Perry's victory over theBritishon Lake Erie is also pictured, as well as NativeAmericansfighting alongside theBritishagainst theAmericans.It's leather spine, although somewhat interrupted by possibly a previously affixed library label, since removed, is still intact and the volume is complete. A wonderful early edition by the venerated 19th century American writer and historian H. M. Brackenridge. A great addition to any US historical library or collection of antiquarian, early books.
