Note 6 — CHRONICLES OF BORDER WARFARE (continued 3)

Captain Simeon Ecuyer, like Bouquet, was a native of Switzerland; he did good service on the frontiers, especially in the gallant defense of Fort Pitt in 1763. He became disgusted with the bad conduct of his soldiers, especially the grenadiers, and begged leave to resign. “For God’s sake,” he implored Bouquet, “let me go, and raise cabbages.”––L. C. D.
