A Chapter of the History of the War of 1812 in the Northwest Embracing the Surrender of the Northwestern Army and Fort at Detroit August 161812

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.
