Scientists Unearth Ft. Duquesne Remnants
Filed under: add to del.icio.us
Archaeologists at Point State Park have uncovered a drainage system that may have once served Fort Duquesne, Pittsburgh's original fort. As French and British forces fought to seize control of North America, the French built Fort Duquesne where the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers meet to form the Ohio River. The French destroyed the fort as British forces advanced in 1758 during the French and Indian War.
