War of 1812 in Michigan - Detroit Falls—But the Story Isn’t Over
Relive the most dramatic 24 hours of the War of 1812. Our new 4-minute video montage walks you from Brock’s predawn bluff, through Tecumseh’s phantom assault, to General Hull’s stunning noontime surrender. Artwork, period quotes, and battlefield soundscapes put you inside Fort Detroit as the Union Jack rises and the U.S. flag is folded away. What you’ll see • Brock pens his victory dispatch by candlelight • Tecumseh’s warriors stage a masterful deception in the oak woods • Hull’s headquarters shatters under cannon fire—and his resolve crumbles • White flag goes up, muskets are stacked, and British cheers echo across the river • Cut to Washington: President Madison reels, while Gen. William Henry Harrison plots a comeback Like, share, and tell us—could Hull have saved Detroit if he’d held his nerve? #WarOf1812 #DetroitHistory #Tecumseh #GreatLakesWar
