General Hull was governor of the
territory Of Michigan when the war
began. he was appointed To the com
mand of the army of the Northwest,
with directions to invade Canada. This
was 10 be the first important military
movement Of the war, and nobody IN
the United states doubted that ii
would be crowned with success. The
invasion was to be through the western
border on the. Detroit river.
General HIll took command Of an
Nav 1912. Soon after ne received a
message from the war department or
derirg him to march speedily tn De
troit and await orders there. When
he reached the Maumee river he en-
barlSed his baggage and stores on sew
eral small vessels. At this time he
did not know that war had been de
ciared but Inc British commander
knew IL. and when tho vessels arrived
near Fort Maiden they We're captured
with all their valuable freight
Early In July General Hull reached
Detroit. and found the Rritish on the
other side OF the river throwing up in
trenchments. In a few days the Am
ericon commander. receiNed orders to
advance, and bnmedmteIy crossed ins
troops over to the Canadian side of
the river The army advanced toward
Maiden successfully, but suddenly fell
back. and hearing that large British
forces were coming General Huh cross

forces were Estimated at 'about 2,00o
men ThesetNith 2,5Qe stands of arms,
