July 3, 1754 Battle of Fort Necessity

With actions of new fort building occurring in their western Pennsylvania lands and elsewhere by invading English and French, Anishinabe ogimak grew weary of their illicit actions of their GREEDY white brethren and ordered large numbers of the brave soldiers to patrol their borders, to determine exactly what their English and French enemies were up to. Battle of Fort Necessity was a part of Pontiac's War. Above is a list of Battles of Pontiac's War. They eventually discovered that English were building a new fortified settlement in what is now far western Pennsylvania, near present day West Virginia border with Pennsylvania. Late on morning of Wednesday July 3, 1754, a large force of brave Ojibway Soldiers launched an assault on Fort Necessity. It would only take one day of fighting for Ojibway Soldiers to forcefully capture that unwanted white settlement in their empire. Evidently that small white English military force of around 500, surrendered their newly constructed fort to a larger Anishinabe military force. After capturing Fort Necessity, Anishinabek destroyed it. They took 369 white soldiers captive to be either outright killed later on or enslaved. During Battle of Fort Necessity, 34 whites were killed and another 89 were wounded. Ojibway casualties may have been higher yet during those times it was different. Ojibway casualties may have actually been lower.
