siege of savannah

 

 

 

Savannah History Museum

 

The siege itself consisted of a joint Franco-American attempt to retake Savannah, from September 16 to October 18, 1779.. On October 9 a major assault against the British siege failed. During the attack, Polish nobleman Count Casimir Pulaski, leading the combined cavalry forces on the American side, was mortally wounded. With the failure of the joint attack, the siege was abandoned, and the British remained in control of Savannah until July 1782.
