Siege of Fort at Number 4
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Siege_of_Fort_at_Number_4 an entity of type: Thing
The siege of Fort at Number Four (7–9 April 1747) was a frontier action at present-day Charlestown, New Hampshire,during King George's War. The Fort at Number 4 (named so because it was located in the fourth of a series of recently surveyed township land parcels), was unsuccessfully besieged by a French and Native force under the command of Ensign Joseph Boucher de Niverville. The British defenders were alerted to the presence of the besiegers by their dogs, and were well-prepared to defend the fort. They successfully fought off attempts to burn the fort down, and turned down demands that they surrender. Some of Boucher de Niverville's Natives, short on provisions, attempted to bargain with the fort's defenders for supplies, but were rejected.
