Desperate defense at Fort ancient roving siege

In September 1777 a fort defended by Col Sheppard endured a brutal siege by Simon Girty and 800 Iroquois. An African cook killed a scout, a hollow log cannon bomb failed, and teenage Elizabeth Zane earned powder to sustain the defense. Reinforcements by Swearingen and McCulloch arrived, the siege lifted, and Girty withdrew into the wilderness. The tale blends frontier courage with grim warfare and colonial figures.
