17,000 Articles from the Encyclopædia Britannica, 11th & 12th eds. William Hull (1753–1825) American general, born at Derby, CT, on the 24th of June 1753. He studied law, and was admitted to the bar in 1775. He joined the American army at Cambridge as captain, fought at White Plains, Trenton and Princeton, and was then promoted to major. Afterward he was engaged at Ticonderoga, Stillwater, Saratoga, Monmouth and Stony Point. After the war he practiced law at Newton, MA, and was prominent in the Massachusetts legislature. In 1798 he was appointed judge of the court of common pleas, and in 1805 he became governor of Michigan territory. At the outbreak of the War of 1812 Hull commanded the Northwestern army, consisting of raw militia. He surrendered Detroit and the entire Northwest to the English, and for this he was court-martialed and sentenced to be shot, but President Madison pardoned him on account of past services. In 1824 he published the Campaign of the Northwest Army. His Life was published by his daughter, Mrs. M. Campbell. He died at Newton, MA, on the 29th of November 1825. © 2022 WEHD.com
