Fort Stanwix was not continuously occupied during the Revolutionary War ... it burned to the ground on May 13, 1781 and was not rebuilt. source: Casemates and Cannonballs, Archaeological Investigations at Fort Stanwix, Rome, New York BradMajors 00:05, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fort Stanwix Treaty of 1784

On page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Fort_Stanwix#The_Fort_Stanwix_Treaty_of_1768, the information under heading "The Fort Stanwix Treaty of 1784" clearly contradicts the statement on this page under heading "Fort Schuyler" indicating "Fort Stanwix was abandoned in 1768." While the 5th paragraph of this same section is a statement "The Treaty of Fort Stanwix was conducted at the fort between the Americans and the Indians in 1784," it, too, is incorrect in that it doesn't reference the original Fort Stanwix Treaty of 1768. Basically, the information in the "Fort Schuyler" section of this page obfuscates information presented in the first section of the page.

[edit] Siege split

Far as I see, the siege section is not long enough to call for its own article, and I propose to remove the split notice. Jim.henderson (talk) 12:13, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
