No general took fort Duquesne, as in attacked and won. In September 1758 Major James Grant, acting as an advance force for General Forbs, with 800 men tried, resulting in casualties of almost half his men including his own capture. On November 25 1758 General John Forbs arrived at the site of the fort with about 6000 men, presumably to do battle, only to discover the French had retreated days before, destroying the fort before they left. General Forbs took possession of the site. Over 1759-1761 the smaller Fort Pitt was built as a replacement.
The key factor in taking the site was the loss of the France's Indian allies, due to negotiations between the British and the Indians. Forbs was going to attack the fort next spring, but upon hearing about the French loss of allies he rushed to take the fort immediately, however upon hearing the same news the French decided to skedaddle.
