ReplyDeleteIn 1758, General John Forbes led several thousand British and provincial troops through the wilderness of Pennsylvania in another attempt to take Fort Duquesne from the French. He learned from Braddock's defeat, and built fortifications as he traveled. This painting illustrates his encampment at Fort Ligonier, about 50 miles from his final destination.
ReplyDeleteI believe the fort in the illustration is Fort Ligonier not Fort Duquesne. A great deal of Fort Duquesne would have been smoldering ruins as the French destroyed it upon leaving.
