The Pontiac Manuscript
During the time that the Indians made their arrangements for harrassing the fort, the commander ordered that the two gates on both ends should be closed, and kept closed until the end of this war, while the one on the southwest side was opened twice, for allowing the cows belonging to residents of the fort to enter. Then it was not opened again, and there remained only the one facing the river, which was opened from time to time for the public necessity, because it was guarded by the barks which the Indians stood in great fear of.
