1,000 Or More Canadians At Detroit

"...[the last French Governor of Canada] Vaudreuil's capitulation and a letter by him directing Detroit to be given up in accordance with the terms agreed upon between him and General Amherst, Rogers finally ordered Captain Beletre to surrender or he would attack the [Detroit] fort... .  Beletre acquiesced on November 29, 1760, and the *fleur de lis was lowered from the flagstaff and the cross of St. George was raised in its place."

"The 1,000 or more Canadians at Detroit were allowed to retain their farms and houses on the condition that they swear allegiance to the English Crown. The Canadians readily complied, if for no other reason than that they had 3,000 packs of furs that they were anxious to sell, as they had no opportunity of selling them since Fort Niagara was taken in 1759."

"The famous "forlorn hope" under Lieutenant James Gibbons at Stony Point was comprised of twenty men, mostly drawn from the Seventh Regiment, and it is recorded by Alexander Garden, Major of Lee's Legion, that the commander of the "forlorn hope" himself informed him that it was an Irish soldier from the Seventh who hauled down the British flag from the fort on the occasion of the memorable assault.
