Conspiracy of Pontiac
The Seige of Detriot
Three discharges were made, and then the retreat commenced. The soldiers gained the neighboring houses, and continued the fire.
The men from the batteaux jumped from their boats upon the bridge and shore as the retreat commenced, and filled the boats with the dead and wounded. One canoe was also employed in this service, but a great many were left on the road. It was said that five hundred left the fort, and only forty returned. Of the dead many were found the next day by the Canadians in the orchards and front yards at the different farms, and were there
buried.
