June 1, 1763 Battle of Fort Ouiatenon

On Wednesday June 1, 1763 an insignificant battle was fought at an insignificant English fortification known as Fort Ouiatenon. This was not a battle but simply Ojibway Soldiers letting themselves into Fort Ouiatenon and requesting that it's garrison of 20 soldiers surrender which they did. Fort Ouiatenon's commander knew their predicament was futile and negotiated a favorable term with Ojibway leaders. He knew Ojibway Soldiers had surrounded his fort days earlier. Per agreements, Ojibway leaders exchanged their 20 English enemies for probably a same number of Ojibway Soldiers held captive by English Soldiers. Fort Ouiatenon's garrison knew about Ojibway Soldiers rampages at Fort St. Joseph, Fort Miami, Fort Pitt, an Ojibway attack against a white settlement near Fort Pitt and what happened at Battle of Point Pelee only a few days earlier or between May 25 and May 28 of 1763. Ojibway negotiators told them.
