You settlers in Ohio, Take care. We, once again, have sent the savages running toward the Muskigum with their tongues hanging and tails bleeding. Bushy Run was hard fought, but won.

Thought I'd put up a picture of the Rangers of the Ohio Company that aided Col. Bouquet on the expedition to resupply and increase the British presence at Fort Pitt.

The 244th version of the Battle of Bushy Run takes place this weekend; 8-4&5,'07. This event has gotten bigger each year. The big one happens in another six years. I'll once again be a laborer/hunter for Col. Bouquet on this mission to end the seige at Fort Pitt by the French and their savage friends.

Where is Fort Pitt located Jack? It looks to me like that ought to be a good field trip routing through Wheeling to catch Cabelas! Can't do much this year but being only 160 miles or so to Pittsburgh it should be doable. ! That 250th ought to be some humdinger too.

Also featured are period 18th century military camps, an 18th century trades area, 18th century craftspeople, and other special programs.
