The Scouts of Major Grant
by Robert Griffing

The painting depicts an event that took place during the Forbes campaign in 1758. Major Grant and his 77th Highlanders were sent out on a reconnaissance mission to Fort Duquesne (present day Pittsburgh, PA). At a camp a few miles from the fort, we see a junior officer going over the plan with their Cherokee scouts. Grants decision to attack the fort would end in a disastrous defeat (September 1758) as the French and Indians proved to be more than he anticipated.
