About this book
The Life and Correspondence of Sir Isaac Brock, K.B is edited by his nephew, Ferdinand Brock Tupper, and interspersed with notices of the celebrated Indian chief, Tecumseh. The preface says a box of manuscripts and the trunks belonging to Sir Isaac Brock, which had remained locked and unexamined for nearly thirty years, were at length opened. A letter describes remaining on the sand hills that night and the following in wet and wind, with nothing to eat but the biscuits the men carried, and getting into Egmont and, on the following day, Alkmaar.
The text says that in the battle of Egmont-op-Zee seven pieces of cannon, a great number of tumbrils and a few hundred prisoners were taken. A note quotes the American historian Thomson, in his Sketches of the War, as saying that General Hull surrendered to a body of troops inferior in quality as well as number.
