Captain Stobo

After the battle at Fort Necessity, hostage Captain Stobo was held by the French at Fort Duquesne. Given some freedom, he drew a map of the fort and had an Indian smuggle it to the British.  The map was captured by the French and Stobo tried for treason. He was found guilty but managed to escape.
