Conspiracy of Pontiac
The Seige of Detriot
No bodies were left on the bridge by the retreating troops. Mr. St. Aubin must be mistaken about seeing one hundred there the day after the battle. Pontiac had no boats there, he had sold some to the Indians, given some away, and employed some in his scouting parties.
The last troops killed in the retreat were at Mr. Campau's. The pursuit stopped at Gouin's, the Indians fearing the cannon of the fort, and the troops re-entered the fort about nine o'clock A. m.
The siege continued about six weeks after the battle, the Indians keeping around the fort night and day, in small parties, and firing upon it, but without much effect.
