Description
Colonel Henry Bouquet and a force of approximately 400 British soldiers left Carlisle
in July to relieve the besieged Fort Pitt and end a series of unchecked attacks against frontier outposts.
The opening of western Pennsylvania to settlement was the result of a decisive victory over the Native Americans at
the Battle of Bushy Run, August 5th and 6th, 1763. This print is a scene from the opening of that battle.
