On Sunday June 19, 1763 Ojibway Soldiers commenced a siege against Fort Presque Isle. This English fort was located where Erie, Pennsylvania is. France built Fort Presque Isle then gave their fortification to their English allies. It was targeted by enraged Ojibways Soldiers to be eradicated. Some 60 or more English Soldiers were stationed at Fort Presque Isle when a short three day siege commenced. After 2 days of fighting, them English capitulated to Ojibway Soldiers on Wednesday June 22, 1763 on terms that they not be harmed and allowed to peacefully go to Fort Pitt, which Ojibway leaders decietfully agreed to. Ojibway leaders knew about massive Plague Warfare Assaults launched by their English enemy, against innocent and defenseless Indians. After Ojibway Soldiers had those 60 or so English Soldiers captured, they commenced to start killing them. After they finished them killings, anywhere from 35 to 50 or more English Soldiers, had been killed.
