On August 5–6, 1763, a British column under Colonel Henry Bouquet defeated a combined force of Delaware, Shawnee, Mingo, and Huron warriors in western Pennsylvania.

In July 1763, a relief column of 500 British soldiers, including the 42nd Highlanders, 60th Royal Americans, and 77th Highlanders, left Carlisle, Pennsylvania, to relieve Fort Pitt, then under siege. On August 1, most of the Indians broke off the siege at Fort Pitt to intercept Bouquet's troops. The two forces met at the Battle of Bushy Run on August 5, 1763, fought in western Pennsylvania between Bouquet's column and a combined force of Delaware, Shawnee, Mingo, and Huron warriors. Having dispersed its attackers, Bouquet's column headed to Bushy Run, a mile along the Forbes road, where there was badly needed water.
