Galvez’s force attacks Fort Bute, a decaying relic of the French and Indian War that is defended by a token force, at dawn on September 7.
Most of the garrison surrenders after a brief skirmish in which one German is killed.
The six who escape capture make their way to Baton Rouge to notify the British troops there of the fort's capture.
