abstract
  • The Battle of Fort Necessity, or the Battle of the Great Meadows took place on July 3, 1754 in what is now the mountaintop hamlet of Farmington in Fayette County, Pennsylvania part of suburban Pittsburgh. The engagement was one of the first battles of the French and Indian War and George Washington's only military surrender. The battle, along with the May 28 Battle of Jumonville Glen, contributed to a series of military escalations that resulted in the global Seven Years' War. Washington built Fort Necessity on an alpine meadow west of the summit from the pass through the Allegheny Mountains. Another pass nearby leads to Confluence, Pennsylvania, and to the west Nemacolin's Trail begins its descent to Uniontown, Pennsylvania and other parts of Fayette County along the relatively low altitudes of the Allegheny Plateau.
