Today In Michigan History

TODAY IN MICHIGAN HISTORY
July 5th

1812
General William Hull arrives in Detroit for an invasion of Canada. Hull had been governor of the Michigan Territory since 1805 and in 1811 was visiting his home state of Massachusetts. Hearing of escalated frontier conflict in Michigan, Hull offered to serve in the military if a war against the Indians—and the British—broke out. In Washington, DC, Hull urged federal authorities to send a second vessel to the Great Lakes in defense of Detroit, which he believed was vulnerable to naval attacks. Hull's advice was mostly ignored, but in 1812 he accepted the position of commander of the new North Western Army. War was declared on June 18, however, Hull did not learn of this until July 2. Ten days later, he launched an invasion of Canada from Detroit.
