Conspiracy of Pontiac
The Seige of Detriot
Accordingly he sent Geeyette with a great number of chiefs, who signed a treaty and separated to return to their respective homes.
But before setting out to go to the Miami, whither Pontiac retired, he told the French people that although they could not overpower the British, it would be bad policy to give them any lands, and he ordered Mr. Gouin, the father of our narrator, who was a surveyor, to accompany him up and down the strait, marking off two or three acres for each of his Canadian friends. The cote du nord est was given to the French by Pontiac, and the cote des Poux by the Potawatamies.
