Additional Details

One of many broadside printings of this popular ballad on the 1813 Battle of Lake Erie, which begins "YE tars of Columbia give ear to my story." It is unillustrated, printed in two columns, and the printed area measures 24 x 20 inches--apparently matching none of the editions cataloged by the American Antiquarian Society.
