Virtual Siege 1777
The siege of the fort began officially on August 3, 1777 when the British sent their first surrender demands to the fort, and would continue through the next 21 days. Eventually, Fort Schuyler became the only American fort under siege to never surrender to the attacking British forces. The accounts below are taken from participants' (on both side) diaries.
