Conspiracy of Pontiac
The Seige of Detriot
This house was situated in what is now (1824) the center of the common, and the place is to this day called Le champ-de-la vielle.
From this place they crossed to the island, where they attacked and murdered the family of Mr. Fisher, saving only one little girl, who was taken afterwards to Saginaw. After doing this, they returned to the village on the opposite side of the river. On the following day they returned to Hog Island and killed three hundred head of cattle belonging to the government, and carried the beef back to their village.
