Wraps. Zustand: Very good. Charles Acker (illustrator). Presumed First Edition, First printing. 17, [3] pages. Illustrations. Minor cover wear. This is part of a series commemorating Detroit's 250th Birthday festival. Charles Acker (1918-2007) was an Artist and Educator. As a Jr. High School student at Hutchins, he was featured in Detroit Newspapers and termed "The Boy Genius." Charles worked 42 years as an Art Teacher in the Detroit Public School System. He earned his Bachelor's Degree from Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan; subsequently received his Master's Degree in School Administration. Historical illustration is what Charles favored. He illustrated several books during his lifetime. His collection includes many pictures of the military with details of period uniforms, horses, and Native American Indians. The Siege of Detroit, also known as the Surrender of Detroit or the Battle of Fort Detroit, was an early engagement in the British-U.S. War of 1812. A British force under Major General Isaac Brock with Native American allies under Shawnee leader Tecumseh used bluff and deception to intimidate U.S. Brigadier General William Hull into surrendering the fort and town of Detroit, Michigan, along with his dispirited army which actually outnumbered the victorious British and Indians. The British victory reinvigorated the militia and civil authorities of Upper Canada, who had previously been pessimistic and affected by pro-U.S. agitators. Many Indians in the Northwest Territory took up arms against U.S. outposts and settlers. The British held Detroit for more than a year before their fleet was defeated on Lake Erie, which forced them to abandon the western frontier of Upper Canada.
