[1446] See Parkman's Pontiac, i. 305-317; Annual Register, 1763, p. 26; and General Amherst's report in Gent. Mag., 1763, p. 486; Lond. Mag., 1763, p. 543; Mag. of West. Hist., ii. 648. He concludes his detailed "Return of killed and wounded" with "Total, 19 killed and 42 wounded." The name of Captain Dalzell, whom he had previously reported as killed, is not included in the return, and the wounded named number only 39. The Annual Register gives the loss as "only seventy men killed, and about forty wounded"!
[1447] An orderly-book of Bradstreet's campaign, June-Nov., 1764, is in the library of the American Antiquarian Society.
[1448] Bradstreet sent Capt. Thomas Morris on a mission to Pontiac, and an account of Morris's experience and his capture by the Indians is given in his Miscellanies in prose and verse (London, 1791). See Field, Ind. Bibliog., no. 1,095, and Thomson's Bibliog. of Ohio, no. 854. Morris's original journal, sent to Bradstreet, is in the Public Record Office, London. He extended the copy from which he printed. A letter from Morris to Bradstreet is among the papers of Sir William Johnson in the State Library at Albany (Parkman, ii. 195). The Parkman MSS. (Mass. Hist. Soc.) have minutes of the council held by Bradstreet with the Indians at Detroit, Sept. 7, 1764, and the Shelburne Papers (vol. 50) show similar records (Hist. MSS. Com. Rept., v. 218).—Ed.
[1449] Sir William Johnson (N. Y. Col. Doc., vii. 686), writing to the Lords of Trade, Dec. 26, 1764, and having spoken with much severity of Bradstreet's bad management of his expedition, says: "On the other hand, Col. Bouquet, under all the disadvantages of a tedious and hazardous land march with an army little more than half that of the other, has penetrated into the heart of the country of the Delawares and Shawanese, obtained above two hundred English captives from amongst them, with fourteen hostages for their coming here [Johnson Hall] and entering into a peace before me in due form; and I daily expect their chiefs for that purpose." A touching account of the English captives, the reluctance of some of them to part from their captors and savage life, and the joy of others again to meet their relatives, is in Dr. Smith's Historical Account, pp. 75-80 (ed. 1868), and in Parkman, ii. 231-240. An engraving, after Benj. West, representing the delivery of the English captives at the forks of the Muskingum, is in some of the editions (p. 72) of the Historical Account, described in a following note.
[1450] Cf. a paper on the forks of the Muskingum in the Mag. of West. Hist., Feb., 1885, p. 283.
[1451] Pennsyl. Mag., iii. 134. An obituary notice of him appeared in the Pennsyl. Journal, Oct. 24, 1765. In the Haldimand Coll. (Canadian Archives), p. 21, appears: "June 5, 1765. Bouquet waiting for a vessel to Florida. Nov. 17. Gen. Gage appoints Lieut.-Col. Taylor to act as Brig.-Gen. in room of Brig. Bouquet, deceased." Among army promotions, in Gent. Mag., Jan., 1766, is "Aug. Provost, Esq., Lieut.-Col. of the 60th Reg., in room of H. Bouquet, deceased."
[1452] An Historical Account of the Expedition against the Ohio Indians in the Year 1764, under the command of Henry Bouquet, Esq., Colonel of Foot, and now Brigadier-General, appeared from the press of William Bradford, Philadelphia, in 1765 (Wallace's William Bradford, p. 85). The authorship has been ascribed by Rich, Allibone, and others to Thomas Hutchins, later geographer of the United States; but it is now known that the writer was Dr. William Smith, Provost of the College of Philadelphia. It is a quarto, pp. xiii+71, with three maps by Thomas Hutchins, Asst. Engineer, viz.: (1) "Map [of the route of Col. Bouquet's expedition of 1763, and] of the country on the Ohio and Muskingham Rivers; also, on the same sheet, separated by a line, a map of the country traversed in his expedition of 1764;" (2) plan of the Battle of Bushy Run; and (3) the order of march. The work has been several times reprinted: (I.) In London, 1766, 4o, pp. xiii+71, with the plates named reëngraved, and two additional plates inserted, after designs by Benj. West, viz.: (4) conference of Indians with Col. Bouquet, engraved by Gregnion; and (5) Indians delivering up the English captives to Col. Bouquet, engraved by Canot (II.) At Amsterdam, 1769, 8o, pp. xvi+147+ix, a French translation, with the same plates very neatly reëngraved, the two maps on the first plate being engraved separately, making in all six plates. (III.) At Dublin, 1769, by John Millikin, pp. xx+99, no plates. (IV.) In Olden Time, i. 203-221, 241-261, no plates. (V.) In the Ohio Valley Series, Cincinnati, 1868, with preface by Francis Parkman, and photo-lithographic copies of the plates in the London edition. The last two editions have translations (not the same, however) of C. G. F. Dumas's biographical sketch of Col. Bouquet, which is prefixed to the Amsterdam edition. The first two maps are prefixed to Hildreth's Western Pioneer, and extracts from the work are given (pp. 46-64). The map of the expedition of 1763 is in Parkman's Pontiac (ii. 199). (Cf. Thomson's Bibliog. of Ohio, nos. 1,065, etc.)
The Historical Account has an introduction giving a summary of Col. Bouquet's expedition of 1763, and supplementary matter, viz., Reflections on the War with the Savages in North America; and five appendixes: (I.) Construction of Forts in America; (II.) Account of the French Forts ceded to Great Britain in Louisiana; (III.) Route from Philadelphia to Fort Pitt; (IV.) Indian Towns on and near the Ohio River; (V.) Names of Indian tribes in North America. The supplementary matter, and doubtless some of the narrative, were furnished by Col. Bouquet himself, as Dr. Smith, in writing to Sir William Johnson, said: "I drew up [the work] from some papers he favored me with." Cf. on the expedition of 1764, Col. Whittlesey's Cleveland, p. 105; Darlington's ed. of Col. James Smith's Remarkable Occurrences, pp. 107, 177; Hildreth's Pioneer Hist. of Ohio Valley, p. 46; Western Reserve Hist. Soc. tracts, nos. 13, 14, 25.

[1454] The Pontiac War is treated in Doddridge's Notes (ed. 1876), p. 220; Kercheval (taken largely from Doddridge), p. 258; Monette, i. 326; Stone's Sir William Johnson, ii. 191; Perkins's Western Annals (ed. 1851), p. 66; Davidson and Struve's Illinois, p. 137; Silas Farmer's Detroit and Michigan (1884); Sheldon's Michigan; Blanchard's North West, 119, with a map; Schweinitz's Zeisberger, p. 274; and in an illustrated article by J. T. Headley, Harper's Mag., xxii. 437. Munsell published at Albany in 1860, as edited by F. B. Hough, and no. 4 of Munsell's "Historical Series", a Diary of the siege of Detroit in the war with Pontiac. Also a narrative of the principal events of the siege, by Major R. Rogers; a plan for conducting Indian affairs, by Col. Bradstreet; and other authentick documents, never before printed. Rogers MS. diary is noted in the Menzies Catal., no. 1,715. There was a Life of Pontiac published in N. Y. in 1860. See also Poole's Index for reviews of Parkman's admirable work.—Ed.
