The Pontiac Manuscript
Other parties of officers were at work having the troops ready to appear when necessary; all this was done so cleverly that the Indians had not the least occasion for suspicion. The council was held, and while it took place all the other Ottawa Indians entered and took the places in accordance with the councils which had been held amongst them. During the council, when Pontiac saw that it was about time for all his people to have come in and take position for the attack, he stepped outside to see for himself if everybody was ready for the attack and to give the signal, which, as I have stated, was a cry. He observed that the curiosity of his people was attracted by some movement on the drill ground.
