One
Mile to Bushy Run Station
On August 5, 1763, as
Pontiac's War swept across the Old Northwest, 600 settlers and a garrison
of 150 men were under siege at Fort Pitt. Their only hope for rescue
was a relief column, consisting of elements of the 77th and 42nd Highland
Regiments - with some Royal Americans thrown in, let by the redoubtable
Col Henry Bouquet. The column was ambushed near Bushy Run Station, a
small stronghold just southeast of Pittsburgh. After a two day
battle, Bouquet was victorious, and Fort Pitt was relieved.
Pontiac's War and his bid to take country back from the white men had
failed.
