The Western Pennsylvania Genealogical Society will present Dr. David Dixon in its Monthly Lecture Series at 7 p.m., Thursday, 10 April 2003 at the Carnegie Public Library Lecture Hall, 4400 Forbes Ave., Pittsburgh, PA. Dr. Dixon's topic will be Men Used to the Woods: Colonel Bouquet's Scouts and the Battle of Bushy Run. This presentation will focus on the 14 men who served as rangers for Colonel Henry Bouquet's relief expedition to Fort Pitt during the Pontiac Indian Uprising of 1763. Dr. Dixon will begin with a discussion of the paucity of experienced frontiersmen available in the Pennsylvania back country, and of the British military's need for such individuals during the conflict. For the first time, the identity of these men will be revealed and their backgrounds and later lived will be discussed. Dr. Dixon is a professor of History at Slippery Rock University, and Curator of the Old Stone House State Historic Site.
