ESSEX REGISTER, Salem, Mass., Sept. 26, 1812  The front page has: "Gen. Hull's Dispatches" signed in type: W. Hull. This is followed by a lengthy report dated "Fort George, Aug. 26, 1812" with the details of the fall of Detroit & which begins: "Enclosed are the articles of capitulation by which the Fort of Detroit has been surrendered to Major General Brock commanding His Britannic Majesty's forces...and by which the troops have become prisoners of war...". This account continues to take over half of page 2 where it is signed in type: W. Hull, Brig. Gen.
A terrific account of this military tragedy for the Americans in the War of 1812.
Four pages, very nice condition.
