Description

La batalla de Fort Duquesne va ser un enfrontament militar de la Guerra Franco-índia i va tenir lloc el 14 de setembre de 1758. Va ser part de l'expedició de John Forbes, amb la qual l'exèrcit britànic pretenia expulsar els francesos de l'Ohio Country. L'expedició tenia 6.000 homes reclutats a Pennsilvània i Virgínia.

El 14 de setembre de 1758, el Major James Grant va dirigir 750 homes cap al Fort Duquesne, en una missió de reconeixement nocturna. Aquest grup era l'avançada de l'expedició de Forbes. Durant el reconeixement, Grant va ordenar als gaiters que toquessin els seus instruments mentre s'acostaven al fort. Quan estaven a prop d'aquest, va ordenar que 250 homes preparessin una emboscada, mentre enviava els altres 100 a eliminar les tropes que estiguessin fora del fort. Alarmat pel so de les gaites, el capità francès François-Marie Le Marchand va enviar a 500 homes, la major d'ells aliats nadius a atacar les tropes enemigues.
