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 pivotal battle fought between British and Native Americans during the conflict known as
Pontiac's War (1763-64) was key in maintaining British control of North America. The British
victory at Bushy Run was the critical turning point in Pontiac's War. Colonel Henry Bouquet, a
Swiss born professional soldier, commanded the expedition as it left Carlisle, Pennsylvania on July
18th. Indian scouts observed Bouquet's army marching west along Forbes Road and reported this to
the large force of Indians surrounding Fort Pitt. The Indians decided to temporarily end their
siege and attack the British expedition in the open. The attack took place one mile east of Bushy
Run Station on August 5th and 6th, 1763. The engagement resulted in a victory for the British. The
photos were taken at the Battle of Bushy Run reenactment in August 2005 with a Canon 20d. These
images have had a Painting like effect added to them.
