May 28-August 10, 1763 Siege of Fort Pitt

Ojibway Soldiers did not like siege warfare. All too often, their enemies had no choice but to hide behind walls. On Saturday May 28, 1763 Ojibway Soldiers commenced a siege against Fort Pitt. Ojibway Soldiers also launched raids against white settlers living around Fort Pitt which killed many and forced many others to flee to Fort Pitt. Fort Pitt was possibly Englands most important fort in Ojibway Territory. Fort Detroit was very important also, as were Fort Michilimackinac and Fort Presque Isle. Ojibway Soldiers showed up from time to time to attempt to force those 600 or so English Soldiers and civilians, to capitulate to them but them English were capable of protecting their strong fortification. On Friday August 5, 1763 English reinforcements numbering 500 or so, made an approach to Fort Pitt. After Ojibway Soldiers were cheated out of a victory at that preordained Battle of Bushy Run, they left Fort Pitt on Wednesday August 10. On Friday August 5, 1763 Ojibway Soldiers commenced to battle those 500 or so English Soldiers trying to reinforce Fort Pitt. Next day or Saturday August 6, 1763, they were cheated out of a victory at Battle of Bushy Run and left after they uncovered a premature plot from an untimely time.
