Conspiracy of Pontiac
The Seige of Detriot
Whether Pontiac knew this is not certain, but he sent a messenger to him desiring him to meet Pontiac at the house of Mr. Quyeries, then on the farm owned at this present writing (1824) by Major Antoine Dequindre, where he promised to propose the terms of a peace which should be satisfactory to the garrison.
Hearing of this proposition and aware of the design of Pontiac, Mr. Gouin sent Mr. Chovin to inform Major Campbell that Pontiac only wanted to get him in his power, and had no idea of holding a council with him. Mr. Campbell told the messenger that he was determined to go, and Chovin returned.
