Conspiracy of Pontiac
The Seige of Detriot
Mr. LaButte went to Major Gladwin and informed him of what he had just heard from Mrs. St. Aubin, but the commandant would not believe anything of it until he saw the Indians crossing the river in great numbers. He then proposed to Mr. LaButte to shut the gates of the fort, but the latter suggested that the Indians would probably propose to hold a council, and that it would be expedient to suffer a few of the principal chiefs to enter, and then accuse them of their treachery. Accordingly, when the Indians came and requested permission to enter and talk with their father, none but Pontiac, Mukeetaa Pinaasee (the Blackbird), Neewish and Waubinema were permitted to go in.
