Conspiracy of Pontiac
The Seige of Detriot
Soon after the Major passed, the noise of musketry was
heard at Mr. Gouin's house, and continued until the return of the retreating troops, who were not more than eighty or ninety in number.
The Indians had left their encampment and entrenched themselves behind the pickets and wood as described by Mrs. Meloche. The troops were marching in columns when they arrived at what is now called Bloody Bridge, and supposing that the Indians were drunk, or asleep, they continued the same order of march on the bridge. A heavy fire opened on the front column and cut it down.
