Conspiracy of Pontiac
The Seige of Detriot
Mrs. Meloche never heard of any attempt to burn the fort by means of carts and combustible matter.
Nothing important occurred between the garrison and Indians until Major Campbell's death, soon after which the troops, three hundred in number, with Mr. McDougall and the commanding officer, marched out of the fort to attack the Indians, whom they supposed to be in camp above. They marched up the river, on the present road along the beach, until they reached the bridge of Bloody Run. This bridge was three times as long as the present one, and crossed the creek much nearer the mouth, and not at the mill. *
