The Pontiac Manuscript
Pontiac, always occupied with his project, and cherishing in his bosom a poison which was to carry death to the English, and perhaps to the French, sent on the following day, Monday the second of May, runners to each village of the Hurons and Foxes, in order to examine the interior of each of these two nations, for he was afraid of having his path crossed in his designs. His runners had orders to say in his name to the nations that on Tuesday, May 5th, at sunset, there would be held a great council in the village of the Foxes, which was situate half a league below the fort, in the southwest, that all the three nations should go there, and that not a single woman should be allowed there, for fear of being discovered.
