Book excerpt: Details the first major U.S. setback in the War of 1812 and analyzes the background and aftermath of Hull’s surrender. The focus of the opening campaign of the War of 1812 was Detroit, a location the War Department considered one of the significant launching points for the invasion of Canada. Detroit’s surrender only two months after the declaration of war shocked the nation and led to the court-martial of Brigadier General William Hull. Hull was sentenced to death—the only commanding general ever to receive such a sentence in U.S. military history—and has been vilified by many historians to the present day for his decision to surrender. In The Fall and Recapture of Detroit in the War of 1812: In Defense of William Hull, author Anthony J. Yanik reconsiders Hull’s abrupt surrender and the general’s defense that the decision was based on sound humanitarian grounds. Yanik begins by tracing the political roots of the War of 1812 and giving readers an idea of what life was like in the tiny frontier settlement of Detroit in the years leading up to the war. He moves on to Hull’s appointment as brigadier general and the assembly of the North Western Army in the summer of 1812, culminating in their arduous journey to Detroit and botched invasion of Canada. Yanik then details Hull’s surrender and its repercussions for Detroit, including life under British rule and the eventual recapture of Detroit by American forces. Yanik also probes the general’s court-martial for cowardice in 1814, arguing that a close examination of the testimony of the witnesses, an analysis of Hull’s defense, and a review of the actual events themselves raise many questions about the credibility of the verdict that was issued. Including a chronology of Hull’s Detroit campaign and appendixes with historical writings and speeches from the officials involved in the war effort, The Fall and Recapture of Detroit in the War of 1812 will be enjoyable reading for military and local historians, just in time for the upcoming bicentennial anniversary of the War of 1812.

This book was released on 2013-04-01 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the end of the Anglo-Indian war the British army moved their forces to the established post of Malden at the entrance of the Detroit River. From this point they retained their influence over the Indians, instigating and assisting the tribes' continuing hostilities toward the American settlers. By 1811 Tecumseh and his brothers had reached maturity and continued the struggle to regain their old territorial boundary of the Ohio River. Their actions to launch a universal war with the other Indian tribes against the American settlers resulted in a call for volunteers in Kentucky. In November 1811 the battle of Tippecanoe was fought, resulting in heavy losses on both sides. Over the winter of 1811, the threat of war with Britain became so great that the government called for volunteers from Ohio to march to Detroit. Brigadier-General William Hull was placed as commander in chief of the newly formed Northwestern Army and in July 1812 invaded Canada. By August of 1812, the Northwestern Army had surrendered at Detroit; it was theorized that Hull collaborated with the British General Brock. Through firsthand accounts, much not available elsewhere, of William Hatch, acting Assistant Quartermaster-General and a volunteer in the Cincinnati Light Infantry, we see the disastrous orders from Hull, refusing cattle for the troops, retreating instead of advancing on Malden, refusing to allow the destruction of an unfinished enemy battery, that lead to the surrender. Hatch's allegations lend support to the theory of connivance but in and of themselves are inadequate as proof. A new surname index has been added.

Jones in The Chronicle of Higher Education “A necessary work of powerful, probing scholarship.” —Publisher Weekly (starred) “A book likely to stand at the head of further research into the problem of Native and African-American slavery in the north country.” —Kirkus Reviews From the MacArthur genius grant winner, a beautifully written and revelatory look at the slave origins of a major northern American city Most Americans believe that slavery was a creature of the South, and that Northern states and territories provided stops on the Underground Railroad for fugitive slaves on their way to Canada. In this paradigm-shifting book, celebrated historian Tiya Miles reveals that slavery was at the heart of the Midwest’s iconic city: Detroit. In this richly researched and eye-opening book, Miles has pieced together the experience of the unfree—both native and African American—in the frontier outpost of Detroit, a place wildly remote yet at the center of national and international conflict. Skillfully assembling fragments of a distant historical record, Miles introduces new historical figures and unearths struggles that remained hidden from view until now. The result is fascinating history, little explored and eloquently told, of the limits of freedom in early America, one that adds new layers of complexity to the story of a place that exerts a strong fascination in the media and among public intellectuals, artists, and activists. A book that opens the door on a completely hidden past, The Dawn of Detroit is a powerful and elegantly written history, one that completely changes our understanding of slavery’s American legacy.
