Fire on the Frontier: the American Disaster at Detroit, 1812. (FSU McCarthy Center)
On April 4th, 2012 at 10:00am Guest Speaker Dr. Daniel Breen, Assistant Professor of History, Newbury College discusses how, in the summer of 1812, the United States entered into a war with the most powerful kingdom on earth, even though it was ill-prepared. The most egregious of the resulting mishaps was General Isaac Hull’s invasion of Canada, which ended with the humiliating surrender of Detroit. *** Held at Framingham State University, McCarthy College Center, Room 415.
