Note 1440 — Chapter IX

A biographical sketch (in French) of Col. Bouquet, by C. G. F. Dumas, is prefixed to the Amsterdam edition, 1769, of Bouquet's second expedition, 1764. The same (in English) is prefixed to Robert Clarke's reprint in the Ohio Valley Series, 1868. A different and fuller translation of Dumas's sketch is in Olden Time, i. 203, and is preceded (p. 200) by a sketch by another writer. George H. Fisher, in Penna. Mag., iii. 121-143, gives the life, with an excellent portrait, of Col. Bouquet, and his letters to Anne Willing, a young lady with whom he had tender relations, but whom he did not marry. J. T. Headley, in Harper's Mag., xxiii. 577 (Oct., 1861), has an illustrated article on Col. Bouquet. The Bouquet Papers, 1757-1765, were given by the heirs of Gen. Haldimand, in 1857, to the British Museum. There is a synopsis of them in Brymner's Report on the Canadian Archives, 1873.—Ed.
