Battle of Fort Presque Isle
This English fort was located in the Pennsylvania land of the Anishinabek. It was targeted by the Three Fires Confederation to be eradicated during Pontiacs War. Some 60 or more English soldiers were stationed at the fort when the short siege commenced, then after 2 days of fighting the English capitulated to Pontiacs warriors on the terms that they not be harmed and allowed to peacefully go to Fort Pitt, which the Anishinabek, Senecas and Wyandot decietfully agreed to. Once Pontiacs warriors had the 60 or so English soldiers captured they commenced to start killing them. After they finished anywhere from 35 to 50 or more of the English soldiers had been killed.
