    Greetings, I am Henri Bouquet, known for my exploits during the French and Indian War and Pontiac's War in British service. My decisive triumph at the Battle of Bushy Run and the subsequent lifting of the siege of Fort Pitt have etched my name in the annals of military history. It is through campaigns on the Western Frontier that I have earned recognition for safeguarding colonial interests and settlers against the constant threat of Native American attacks. Born in Rolle, Switzerland, in 1719, my lineage likely traces back to a family with a tradition of military service under the Kingdom of Sardinia.
