Description

La battaglia di Fort Duquesne fu un assalto britannico all'eponima fortezza francese respinto con pesanti perdite il 14 settembre 1758, nel corso della guerra franco-indiana.

L'attacco a Fort Duquesne fece parte di una spedizione britannica su larga scala con 6000 uomini guidati dal generale John Forbes al fine di cacciare i francesi dal conteso territorio dell'Ohio aprendosi così la strada per l'invasione del Canada. Forbes ordinò al maggiore James Grant del 1º reggimento Highland di effettuare una ricognizione nella zona con 850 uomini. Quando Grant attaccò la posizione francese i suoi uomini furono accerchiati e in gran parte distrutti dai francesi e dai loro alleati nativi guidati da François-Marie Le Marchand de Lignery. Il maggiore Grant fu fatto prigioniero ed i sopravvissuti britannici si ritirarono velocemente a Fort Ligonier.
