by Gilbert J. Hunt (Author)
Here is your chance to own a piece of history! This is a 100% accurate reproduction of the 1819 edition of the book The Late War between the United States and Great Britain by Gilbert J. Hunt.
This Rogershaven Facsimile Edition is a faithful reproduction made from photographic scans of the pages of an authentic original edition. We have lovingly and carefully restored the text to ensure that this replica looks almost as good as a brand-new copy from 1819.
The Late War recounts the story of the War of 1812, but in a "biblical style" using language reminiscent of the King James Version of the Bible. It even has chapter and verse notation.The book was very popular when first published, and for many years after publication it was widely available in schoolhouses and libraries across the United States.
In the 21st century, some readers noticed similarities in language and plot between this book and the 1830 religious work The Book of Mormon, and speculation arose that The Late War influenced The Book of Mormon. Believers in a miraculous origin for The Book of Mormon dispute that claim. Who is right? Order this handsome edition of the book so you can read it and decide for yourself!
