Conspiracy of Pontiac
The Seige of Detriot
Point au Pelee on Lake Erie was a favorite haunt for these scouting parties, and at three different times during July and August they met considerable numbers of batteaux there, killed all the men excepting a steersman and two rowers for each bat-teau, and, having compelled them to bring the boats up the river, they crossed to their encampment, where the men, being compelled to run the gauntlet, were killed by the Indians. Mr. St. Aubin does not recollect the number of barges taken in this manner, but he saw the Creek crowded with the boats.
