Battle of Fort Sandusky

This battle occurred on Monday May 16, 1763 during Pontiac's War. Ojibways Soldiers tricked their way into Fort Sandusky, then killed 15 English Soldiers and a few English traders. Fort Sandusky was then taken by Anishinabek. Battle of Fort Sandusky was a part of Pontiac's War. A list of Battles of Pontiac's War is above. Fort Sandusky was originally a French fort built in 1749 (they named it Fort Sandoske), about 11 miles east of Port Clinton, Ohio. In 1754, it was left to Ojibways who probably forced them French to sign it over or they used other means to rid them French from that unwanted fort. In 1761, English and French returned to that region and built another fort near where Sandusky, Ohio is. It was also named Fort Sandusky. That is where this battle was fought. Battle of Fort Sandusky was fought on May 16, 1763.
