The War of 1812
The advance of the British troops on these posts and their surrender are matters of familiar history, and it is not intended in this notice to give any derailed account of these events or the cause which brought them about, farther than to make brief mention of military facts connected with them for the purpose, so far as it is possible, of making a record of the officers who were prominent in that part of the war affecting the Territory of Michigan and of those who took part in the defense and surrender of the posts referred to.
-In 1805 President Jefferson appointed Colonel William Hull of Massachusetts Governor of Michigan Territory, making his headquarters at Detroit, with Stanley Griswold of Connecticut as Secretary.
