Conspiracy of Pontiac
The Seige of Detriot
Some days after his death Mr. Gouin saw his body, merely the trunk, headless and limbless, floating down the river. It was taken up by the inhabitants and buried at the small run, near Judge Witherell's house, where it remained four years, when the officers collected the bones and removed them to the citadel, where they were re-interred under three pear trees.
Major Gladwin, who was cousin of Major Campbell's, and who was his successor in command, as Mr. Gouin thinks, declared his determination to avenge the death of the Major, and expecting to find the Indians still under the influence of the liquor taken from the barge, he marched out of the fort at the head of about three hundred men.
