Conspiracy of Pontiac
The Seige of Detriot
From this time the savages ceased to trouble them, unless by permission of their leader; and so completely did he control them that they did not even cross the fields of the inhabitants, but always traveled on the road or in the woods.
From the time of the failure of Pontiac to get into the fort, the Indians, composed of the Chippewas, Potawatamies, Hurons (Wyandots), and in fact all the surrounding tribes, were in the vicinity of the fort, to the number of about three thousand. They commenced a siege of the fort, and small parties were employed in surrounding it and firing into it, but without doing much injury.
