Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Hull´s Surrender of Detroit The name of William Hull holds a conspicuous place in the annals of our country - conspicuous for gallant deeds and patient suffering under false accusations. I do not propose to give in this paper a biography of this citizen; only outline pictures of the more salient points in the history of his life, from his birth in Derby, a village on the Housatonic River, in Connecticut, in 1753, until his death in Newton, Massachusetts, in 1825. He labored gallantly in the camp and in the field whenever opportunity offered, and he suffered the stings of unjust public reproach many years, that were set in motion by a few selfish, ambitious or ignorant men, who misled the judgment of the nation. These even secured the ear of History, and that misled judgment obscured her vision, and to this day she has taught the world (with few exceptions) untruthful stories about the character and career of an American citizen who deserves the love and veneration of his countrymen for his brave and generous deeds. It is a pleasant task for me to recall from the obscurity of the past a vindication of the patriot who made his dwelling-house at Newton one of the conspicuous Historic Buildings of America.
