In 1778, George Rogers Clark temporarily broke the British-Indian alliance with victories in the Illinois territory at Kaskaskia, Cahokia, and Vincennes, Colonials rejected an attempt by Wyandots and some Shawnee to negotiate a peace in 1779. Although the main British army surrendered at Yorktown, Virginia, on Oct 19, 1781, occasional clashes occurred on the frontier. The bloodiest Revolutionary War battle in western Virginia Began on Sept 10, 1782. Wyandot, Dellawar and British forces attacked FT Henry. The most dramatic story associated with this siege of Ft Henry is the daring run of Elizabeth Zane, who allegedly carried gunpowder to the fort amidst heavy gunfire. The settlers, held the fort, and after three days the Indians and their British allies gave up. Soon thereafter, the British ordered a halt to all attacks on the Frontier"
