I read "the other one", by Gilbert J. Hunt, titled:
The Late War, Between the United States and Great Britain, From June 1812 to February 1815, Written in the Ancient Historical Style, By Gilbert J. Hunt, author of a number of anonymous publications in prose and verse, "The good of his country was the pride of his heart" -- Decatur's Victory, Containing also a Sketch of the Late, Algerine War, And the treaty concluded with the Dey of Algiers: the Commercial Treaty with Great Britain, and the Treaty concluded with the Creek Nation of Indians.
Whew!
It is also a fascinating read. The printed version can be obtained as a POD (print on demand) book from Amazon. It's good quality.
"Written in the ancient historical style" means, written to sound like the KJV of the Bible! Which adds to the interesting, and amusing/frustrating quality of the reading experience. For instance, the entire work is set out in Chapters and numbered verses. An example of the writing style follows from Chapter III, "verses" 1-4.
1 And it came to pass, that when the princes and the lords and the counselors of Britain saw the DECREE, their wrath was kindled, and their hearts were ready to burst with indignation.
2 For verily, said they, this insult hath overflowed the cup of our patience; and now will we chastise the impudence of these Yankees, and the people of Columbia shall bow before the king.
3 (Now the word Yankees was used by the people of Britain as a term of reproach.)
4 Then will we rule them with a rod of iron; and they shall be, unto us, hewers of wood and drawers of water.
Fun(ny) stuff!
