Expanded version

I wrote out a complete article based upon the information in Mahon, but I consider it very preliminary. Several issues I cannot resolve. This article calls the fort "Fort Blount," but there was no mention of the name in Mohan's account. I'm guessing it was Nicolls' name for it? It also says they held the fort for several days before being attacked by troops; I can't tell whether they mean the siege lasted for days or the people occupied the fort for several days. If the latter, very wrong. Not clear on the former. Mohan, without giving a timeframe, says the fort was eliminated "with a minimum of expenditure". They're probably not mutually exclusive but I think some more detail and/or references on the matter are needed. 71.129.81.136 18:00, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
