Aftermath. Bushy Run Battlefield. , Almost one-fourth of Bouquet's men were killed or wounded. The number of Natives lost remains a mystery today. Four days later Bouquet reached Fort Pitt with supplies. The fort was reinforced and civilians were escorted to safety at Fort Ligonier. Although victorious, the action at Bushy Run forced Bouquet to rest his men and await reinforcements at Fort Pitt., In October 1764, he marched his army into what is now Ohio and demanded that the Natives accept British terms or suffer defeat by his army. The Natives agreed, thus ending the war in the Ohio River Valley. A map drawn in 1765 indicates the British returned to Bushy Run after the battle to bury their dead on the hillside of the first day's action. The exact site of the graves has never been found., (Caption):, Plan of Fort Pitt by Bernard Ratzer, 1761. (British Library), (Timeline at the bottom of the marker), 1763. .
