June 11, 1813 Baltimore Patriot Newspaper With War Of 1812 News ... Published Exactly Two Centuries Ago!

In this video, I showcase a copy of a Baltimore Patriot Newspaper from June 11, 1813 ... exactly 200 years ago today. It contains War Of 1812 News specifically the Battle Of Fort George. This is very special and very apropos for the War Of 1812 Bicentennial. You will note references to Colonel Winfield Scott, Major Benjamin Forsyth, Major General Morgan Lewis and Major General Henry Dearborn. Advertisements fill the front page including one advertisement about a stray cow and a "coloured" man!
