Conspiracy of Pontiac
The Seige of Detriot
They did not go through the ceremony of a council at this place, but Pontiac detained the officers, expecting that Major Gladwin would surrender the fort. He gave them a neat little chamber in the rear of the house and ordered them to be treated with the greatest attention and respect.
During the summer, in the months of July and August, Pontiac heard that a number of batteaux were expected up the lake, and he dispatched parties of warriors to watch the different points near the head of Lake Erie, where the voyageurs were accustomed to encamp.
