General William Hull is best remembered for surrendering Fort Detroit to the British on August 16, 1812. He believed that he was facing superior forces when he surrendered. Colonel Lewis Cass placed full-blame on Hull, and Hull was court-martialed and sentenced to be shot. He received a reprieve from President James Madison, and lived the rest of his life out at in Newton, Massachusetts, with his wife Sarah Fuller.
