Fort Henry was a colonial fort which stood about ¼ mile from the Ohio River in what is now downtown, Wheeling, West Virginia. The fort was originally known as Fort Fincastle and was named for Viscount Fincastle, Lord Dunmore, Royal Governor of Virginia. Later it was renamed for Patrick Henry, and was at the time located in Virginia. The fort was subject to two major sieges, two notable feats (McColloch's Leap and Betty Zane's trek through the battle) and other skirmishes.

  • Fort Henry, initialement connu sous le nom de Fort Fincastle, est un fort établi en juin 1774 à proximité de la rivière Ohio, à l'emplacement de la ville actuelle de Wheeling en Virginie-Occidentale. Construit sous la supervision du major William Crawford durant la guerre de Dunmore, le fort est initialement désigné sous le nom de Fort Fincastle en l'honneur de Lord Dunmore, gouverneur colonial de Virginie, avant d'être renommé Fort Henry en 1776 en l'honneur de Patrick Henry, premier gouverneur de la Virginie. Durant la guerre d'indépendance américaine, le fort subit deux attaques importantes de la part des Amérindiens alliés aux Britanniques, l'une en 1777 et l'autre en 1782. (fr)
