Fred Westbrook

== Fred Westbrook ==
Fred Westbrook was an American who was a mechanic in the US Army, and later a commander in the Seaboard Army. He was promoted to the rank of Major prior to his untimely defeat in the Battle of Niagara Falls. After he was captured along with Major Lance Godwin, he offered intel in exchange for certain freedoms, namely exile to the western US. Appalachian forces refused, and not knowing whether his information was genuine or a deceit, he was transferred to Toronto to await trial.
Westbrook was eventually tried in a Toronto court and was sentenced to fifty years in prison, which would make him 89 years of age after being released.
