The War of 1812
On the morning of the 15th Brock opened his battery, which was followed by a flag of truce, received by Captains Charles Fuller and Josiah Snelling, 4th U. S. Infantry, with the demand for surrender, coupled with the threat that if not complied with he could not control the Indians then under his command. This demand was delivered about ten o'clock by Lieutenant Colonel J. McDonell and Major J. B. Glegg, who were blindfolded and conducted to the quarters of Major Henry J. Hunt to remain there for Hull's reply, which they did not receive until nearly 3 o'clock, when it was handed to them, stating that the General was prepared to meet Brock's force and any consequences from its use.
The British guns opened about three o'clock and immediately after the return of the flag of truce with Hull's reply.
