Conspiracy of Pontiac
The Seige of Detriot
The Indians returning, fired and
killed them.
The dead and wounded were not left on the field, but as the force retreated were put into the boats and some were carried by the soldiers. One wounded officer was carried from Mr. Gouin's in a chair.
Major Gladwin * was killed in the action, just as the retreat commenced,
, by an Indian named Geeyette, who said that the Major was far in the
rear of the troops when retreating and. beckoned to this Indian to come
near. But seeing a pistol in his hand he made signs to him to drop it. This
the Major refused to do, and Geeyette fired and killed him. Geeyette was
Pontiac's brother-in-law.
