The Pontiac Manuscript
This address, which Pontiac delivered with a voice full of energy, made upon the whole assembly the full effect which he had desired, and all swore, as in one voice, the complete extermination of the English nation.
It was decided at the end of the council that Pontiac, at the head of sixty picked men, should go into the fort to ask the English commander for a great council, that those should have weapons concealed under their blankets and that the rest of the village should follow them, armed with tomahawks, dirks and knives hid under their clothes and enter the fort as if taking a, walk, so as not to create any suspicion, while the first should hold council with the commander.
