Description
Excerpt from Souvenirs of the Past
In offering to the public these crude and hastily written Reminiscences, I have thought it advisable to open them with one of the traditions of the renowned chief Pontiac, who exercised such an extraordinary in?uence over the various tribes of Indians with whom he was associated and who for so many years drew the undivided attention of the civil and military powers of those days. He at length failed in the accomplishment of his bold and comprehensive plan of attacking a chain of nine forts from Michigan to Niagara on the same day; he himself besieging the Fort Pontchar train at Detroit in 1763, but failed, an Indian woman having discovered the plot and revealed it to Major Gladwin, commanding the fort.
