Hull's Surrender of Detroit (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Hull's Surrender of Detroit
I will pass on with only brief mention of the principal events in the life Of Colonel Hull, after his marriage, to his appointment as Governor Of the Territory Of Michigan.
When the army of the Revolution was about to be disbanded, and Washington and a few troops entered the city Of New York on the day when the British left it, Colonel Hull was selected to lead the military escort Of the commander-in-chief on that occasion, and was with him until his departure for Annapolis to resign his commission. In 1786 Hull retired from the army, and for several years practiced law in Newton with marked success. He soon became a leading man there, representing his district in the Massachusetts Legislature, and being made a major-general of militia. In Shay's rebellion he commanded one wing of Lincoln's forces. Pushing on to the camp Of the insurgents in spite of a violent snow-storm, he surprised and dispersed them. In 1793 he was sent by the government Of, the United States to treat with the Indians in Canada; and five years afterward he went to Europe. After his return he was appointed Judge Of the Court Of Common Pleas Of Massachusetts.
