4 Hero Story of the French and Indian War Fort Duquesne and the Battle of Quebec Two major military campaigns took place during the French and Indian War. The first was the unsuccessful English attack on French forces at Fort Duquesne in the Ohio Valley. The English defeat at Fort Duquesne was typical of how badly things went for the English during the early years of the war. The second campaign ended with the Battle of Quebec in which English troops won a great victory in the deciding battle of the war. Information about the attack on Fort Duquesne and the Battle of Quebec is given below. Use the information to help you write a story about the French and Indian War. Pretend that you were an American soldier who was on the losing English side at Fort Duquesne, and later on the victorious English side at Quebec. Write your story in such a way that it shows you to be a war hero. Mention at least two brave or heroic things that you did during the defeat at Fort Duquesne and during the victory at Quebec. Although you are making up a hero's story, be sure that you include the facts given in the notes below. But do not copy the notes word for word. Use the facts, but present them in your own way. A few "heroes" will have a chance to read their stories to the class. The Unsuccessful English Attack on Fort Duquesne Fort Duquesne, located in western Pennsylvania, was one of many French forts in the Ohio Valley Battle took place July 9, 1755 English army was led by General Edward Braddock English army included 1,750 British regulars and 450 colonial militia General Braddock marched his army through the wilderness toward Fort Duquesne; red British uniforms were easy to see in the forest; some soldiers carried flags, while others played music as the army marched along French army commanded by Captain Beaujeau French army, which included Indians, numbered less than men General Braddock and English army believed the correct way to fight a battle was to position themselves in an open area French and Indians hid behind trees French made a surprise attack on English ten miles from Fort Duquesne Most of British regulars were wiped out; Braddock had four horses shot fro under him before he was killed More English bullets hit trees than hit French and Indians 23-year-old George Washington led the colonial militia on a retreat to safety; Washington was not wounded, but had two horses shot from under him; four bullets went through his coat. The English Victory at the Battle of Quebec After the fighting at Fort Duquesne, William Pitt became the leader of the English government; because of this determination to win the war, more troops and younger and better commanders were sent into battle; more money was spent on guns and ammunition English won many battles leading up to their attack on Quebec, a French city along the St. Lawrence River English army, commanded by General James Wolfe, approached Quebec which was defended by French army under General Louis Montcalm English surrounded Quebec, but could not directly attack city, which was located on a high cliff Finally, on the night of September 12-13, 1759, the English found a path leading to the cliffs; English army secretly climbed to the top during night French awoke to find enemy positioned on the Plains of Abraham outside the city The English then defeated the French in the Battle of Quebec; both General Wolfe and General Montcalm were killed; in the battle, the French fired too quickly at the English, who held their fire until drawing closer to the French; the English then fired, reloaded, fired again, and then charged with bayonet and sword; after 15 minutes of fighting, the French retreated in a hasty, disorganized manner; the French surrendered the city of Quebec five days later.
