This 1890 illustration highlights the arrival of Dalzell with supplies - during the Siege of Detroit in 1763. On July 29, Captain James Dalzell arrived from Niagara with artillery supplies and 280 men in 22 barges. Their approach to the fort was contested by combined Indian forces, even the Wyandots and Pottawottomis breaking their treaty and joining the assault.
