On this day in 1777,
400 Indians lay siege to Fort (Patrick) Henry (now Wheeling, WV). Settlers take refuge in the fort before the Indians attack. Several soldiers die in the skirmishes outside the walls before the siege began, but in the end, there was not any deaths among the fort's defenders at the Battle Ft. Henry.
