September 5-12, 1812 Siege of Fort Wayne

Fort Wayne is located where present day Fort Wayne, Indiana is located. This battle was part of an Ojibway plan to attempt to take American Forts. A force of brave Ojibway Soldiers numbering probably over 500, commenced their attack on the fort on September 5. They concentrated their attack on the forts eastern walls then persuaded the forts commander to allow 14 of their representatives in to negotiate. After the 14 Indian representatives entered the white fort an altercation occurred which led to the 14 Indian representatives leaving the fort quickly. About the only strategy the Ojibway's could try was to attempt to burn the fort down. From within the fort, the whites used their superior weapons (guns and howitzers). Then on September 11, Ojibway's once again attempted to capture the fort but their attack ended in failure. They knew that new white reinforcements numbering over 2,200 soldiers, were about ready to arrive to Fort Wayne, so they lifted the siege and left.
