Mad_Jack,
Thanks for posting the fine photo and giving us the link. I am a Civil War re-enactor with strong tendancies toward the French & Indian War. I looked at the photo and could smell the BP smoke, hear the crack of flinters and sense the "Big Woods" full of Indians where the drama unfolds.
I think Bushy Run was the place where Colonel Bouquet placed a company of his soldiers among the battlefield casualties before dawn so when the Indians attacked at sunrise, the live troops had the Indians in a crossfire after the Indians rushed past the "dead."
Thanks for the trek down memory lane back into history.
Adam
