William Hull

William Hull circa 1800 William Hull (June 24, 1753 – November 29, 1825) was an American military officer and politician. He fought in the American Revolutionary War and served as governor of the Michigan Territory from 1805 to 1813, gaining large land cessions from several Indian tribes under the 1807 Treaty of Detroit. Hull is most widely remembered, however, as the general in the War of 1812 who surrendered Fort Detroit to the British on August 16, 1812 following the Siege of Detroit. After the siege, he was court-martialed, convicted, and sentenced to death, but received a pardon from President James Madison and his reputation somewhat recovered. Provided by Wikipedia
