EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historical significance of Fort Pitt and its predecessor, Fort Duquesne. The line engraving, created in the early 20th century, transports us back to a pivotal time in American history. Fort Duquesne was initially constructed by the French between 1759 and 1761 on what is now Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This strategic fortification played a crucial role during the French and Indian War as it guarded access to the Ohio River. However, after British forces captured Fort Duquesne, they demolished it and built their own stronghold - Fort Pitt. The image depicts both forts side by side on a detailed plan or map. It offers viewers an opportunity to explore the layout and design of these historic military structures. From this vantage point, we can appreciate how American colonists took over from their French adversaries and established their presence in this vital region. The location of these forts holds immense historical significance as it marks a turning point in America's colonial era. Today, Pittsburgh stands proudly on this land that once witnessed fierce battles for control over North America. This remarkable print from Granger Art on Demand allows us to delve into our nation's past while appreciating the dedication and sacrifice made by those who defended our young country at Fort Pitt and its precursor, Fort Duquesne.
