The book titled The Case Of The Private Armed Brig Of War, Gen. Armstrong by Samuel C. Reid is a historical account of the legal claim made by the United States government against the British government for the destruction of the American privateer ship, General Armstrong. The book is a collection of letters and documents that provide a detailed account of the events leading up to the destruction of the ship, as well as the subsequent legal proceedings that followed.The General Armstrong was a privateer ship that was commissioned by the United States government during the War of 1812. In September 1814, the ship was anchored in the neutral port of Fayal, in the Azores, when it was attacked by a British squadron. Despite being heavily outnumbered, the crew of the General Armstrong put up a fierce resistance and managed to inflict significant damage on the British ships before finally being forced to scuttle their own vessel.The book contains letters and documents written by various individuals involved in the case, including Samuel C. Reid, who was the captain of the General Armstrong, as well as government officials and legal representatives. These documents provide a detailed account of the events leading up to the attack, as well as the legal arguments put forth by both the American and British governments.Overall, The Case Of The Private Armed Brig Of War, Gen. Armstrong is a fascinating historical account of a little-known incident during the War of 1812, and provides valuable insight into the legal and diplomatic challenges faced by the United States government during this turbulent period in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
