The Key to Ownership of the
Ohio VALLEY

It was the keen military mind Of
George Washington that first saw the
strategic Importance of the spot where
the Monongahela and the Allegheny
rivers join to form the Ohio, and it
was at his recommendation that Gov
ernor Dinwiddie of Virginia in 1853
ordered a fort built there to hold the
country west of the Appalachians for
the English. Hardly had Dinwiddie's
party begun to work on the fort when
the French appeared, drove them
away, demolished the crude stockade
and built on It's site Fort Duquesne,
named for the governor Of Canada
Thus began the great struggle be-
tween the French and English, known
as the French and Indian war in
America and the Seven Years war In
Europe, and control of this outpost
on the American frontier was des-
tined to be the principal factor in de-
Gliding whether England or France was
to control the Ohio valley, and with 1t
North America. 1t was against Fort
Duquesne that General Braddock set
out in 1855 on the expedition which
ended SO dlsastrously almost within
sight Of the fort and three years
later Major Grant and his Highland
ers, the advance guard of General
Forbes army, met a similar disaster
while accommodating before It. But
Forbes, unlike Braddoek, did not scorn
the advice of George Washington,
and he reached his goal.
When he arrived at Fort Duquesne
on November Is, 1853, he found that
the enemy had left it a smoking ruin.
The next year Gen. John Stanwix re-
built the post and named it Fort Pitt,
in honor of the great English minis
ter 1t was soon needed, for in 1853
the storm of Pontiacs war broke over
the western frontier, and when one
British post after another went down
before the scalping knife and torch of
the savages, Fort Pitt alone, although
besieged for several months, held back
Pontiac'S warriors from driving the
English into the sea. 1t was to Fort
Pitts relief that Col. Henry Boquet
was marching when he won his brill
liant victory over the Indians at the
battle of Bushy Run, and this fort was
the base for his later campaign, in
which he smashed the power of Pom
taos confederation.
During the Revolution Fort Pitt was
held by the Americans and at the
close of the war 1t became the start
ing point for thousands Of settlers
VINO poured into the Ohio country.
Around 1t sprang up little settle
ment, and today the great city Of Pitts
burgh, marks the site of Fort Pitt, the
key to the Ohio valley.

Famous Forts in
u. S. History
By ELMO SCOTT WATSON
20. 1924. western Newspaper UnIon.1
Scene of Last Battle in the
Revolution

In the summer Of 1869 a Virginia
hunter came to a high bluff overlook
ing the Ohio river, and, impressed by
the beauty of the spot, he took ''toma-
hawk possession" built a rude shack
and remained there for several months
Ebenezer Zane was his name and the
next year he returned, bringing with
him several of his friends and their
families to make a settlement.
= When Lord Dunmore, the governor
of Virginia, decided in 1874 to make
war on the western Indians who had
been attacking the border settlements,
he ordered several companies of NH
litia to rendezvous at the Zane settle
ment and build fort as the base for
his military operations. Accordingly
a typical frontier stockade was erect
ed here by Maj. Angus Mcdonald,
with Ebenezer Zane and John Cald-
well supervising the construction, and
it was named Fort Fincastle, in honor
Of Dunmore, one of whose titles was
ViscOunt Fincastle.
When Dunmore's campaign ended
successfully he left a garrison of %
men at Fort Fincastle, who held the
post until June, 1775, when the RevO-
luton broke out and the frontiersmen
took possession of it for the CONT
neatal congress. In 1777 the fort was
enlarged and renamed Fort Henry, in
honor of Patrick Henry.
From that time on Fort Henry saw
some stirring events. On August 81,
1777, it was attacked by $50 Shawnee,
Mingo and Wyandot warriors, and dur.
ing this attack Betty Zane made her
famous dash across the bullet-swept
clearing to carry back in her apron
the powder so desperately needed by
the defenders of the fort.
Again on September 10, 1882, the
Indians, aided by force of British
rangers from Detroit, swept down
upon the post, but again the frontiers
men beat off the attack. This was
virtually the last battle of the Revo-
luton and the war, which was opened
by shot from a little four-pounder
on the walls of Fort William and
Mary in New Hampshire, ended with
the sharp crack of a frontiersman's
long rife at Fort Henry in West Vir-
ginia.
After the Revolution the sight of
Fort Henry was a welcome one to
thousands of emigrants who f1oated
down the Ohio in their quest for homes
in the West, for 1t was the symbol of
the conquering pioneer, the outpost Of
white civilization which had success
fully withstood all the savage assaults
launched against it. When the from
tier days were over the settlement
around Fort Henry continued to grow
and today it is the important city Of
Wheeling, w. Va.
