The Pontiac Manuscript
Upon entering his village, he made directly for the hut of the chief, to whom he gave what had been given to him, the prayer and the law which the Master of Life had given him.
This adventure was soon noised about amongst the residents of the village, who came to hear the words of the Master of Life, and who carried them to their neighboring places, from which people came to see the pretended traveler, and spread the news from village to village until it reached Pontiac, who believed in it as we believe an article of faith, and instilled the same into the spirit of all those of his council who listened to him, as to an oracle, and said to him that he had only to speak and all should be ready to do his bidding.
