The Battle of Point Pleasant, also known as the Battle of Kanawha, was the only major action of Dunmore's War. It was fought on October 10, 1774, between the Virginia militia and Shawnee and Mingo warriors. Along the Ohio River near modern-day Point Pleasant, West Virginia, forces under the Shawnee chief Cornstalk attacked Virginia militiamen under Colonel Andrew Lewis, hoping to halt Lewis's advance into the Ohio Valley. After a long and furious battle, Cornstalk retreated. After the battle, the Virginians, along with a second force led by Lord Dunmore, the Royal Governor of Virginia, marched into the Ohio Valley and compelled Cornstalk to agree to a treaty, which ended the war.

  • Битва при Пойнт-Плезант (англ. Battle of Point Pleasant), также известная как битва при Канауга — крупнейшее сражение Войны Данмора, состоявшееся 10 октября 1774 года между ополчением Виргинии и индейцами шауни и минго. На берегу реки Огайо, в районе современного Пойнт-Плезант (Западная Виргиния), индейцы, под командованием вождя шауни Маисового Стебля, атаковали виргинских ополченцев полковника Эндрю Льюиса, надеясь остановить продвижение Льюиса в Огайо. После долгого и упорного боя, Маисовый Стебель отступил. После этой битвы вирджинцы, в том числе и второй отряд, под командованием лорда Данмора, губернатора Виргинии, вступили в Огайо и вынудили Маисового Стебля подписать невыгодный мирный договор. (ru)
