Conspiracy of Pontiac
The Seige of Detriot
It was a fact that Pontiac prevented his Indians from destroying grain and cattle, and that he subjected the inhabitants to contributions of pro-visios at any time when he was in want.
Pontiac never rode on horseback. He made the old women at Pettier's cook for him whenever he was hungry, and so he did at other houses.
Pontiac was killed on the Illinois, two years after the war, by an Indian who had fallen in love with his wife. Pettier heard this account at the time.
