Fort Pitt one of the western forts besieged by Indians during
Pontiac's Rebellion (1763–66) that followed the
French and Indian War (1754–63). At one point, during the siege, Capt. Simeon Ecuyer tried to weaken the besiegers by distributing smallpox-contaminated blankets during a parley, which may have caused an epidemic.
