[WOODWORTH, Samuel (d. 1819).] The Battle of Plattsburgh: a Poem, in Three Cantos. By an American Youth. Montpelier, VT: E.P. Walton, 1819.

Pristine first edition of a scarce poem, unopened and in a contemporary wrapper, commemorating the final battle of the War of 1812. Also known as the Battle of Lake Champlain, it marked the end of the British Invasion of the United States. The aquatic part of the conflict has drawn comparisons with Nelson's famous victory at the Nile against Napoleon. RBH records only three copies at auction. Stoddard 1265; McCorison, Vermont 2170.

12mo (185 x 120mm). (Faint dampstain.) Contemporary blue wrapper with three stab holes, unopened (faint dampstain, a few chips); modern portfolio case.
