Lot Description
[WAR OF 1812]. SMYTH, Alexander (1765-1830). To the Men of the state of New-York. Buffalo, NY: November 1812. 

Visible 7 1/2 x 11 5/8 in. broadside; framed (not examined out of frame, verso note indicates margins present). Signed in type by Brigadier-General Alexander Smyth. 

A recruitment broadside issued by General Smyth in Buffalo calling New York men to "advance then to our aid." 

Smyth was commissioned as a colonel in 1808 and served as Inspector General to William Eustis, the acting Secretary of War. His record during the War of 1812 is best remembered for a failed attempt to invade Canada, initiated at the Battle of Frenchman's Creek, but abandoned due to organizational ineptitude. After the war, he resumed his law practice and became involved in Virginia politics, serving in the Virginia House of Delegates and the United States House of Representatives.
