Siege of Fort Henry

The siege of Fort Henry was an attack on American militiamen during the American Revolutionary War near the Virginia outpost known as Fort Henry by a multi-tribal alliance in September 1777. The fort, named for Virginia Governor Patrick Henry, was at first defended by only a small number of militia, as rumors of an Indigenous raid had moved much faster than the warriors themselves, and a number of militia companies had left the fort. The remaining militia were successful in repulsing the attack.
