The Pontiac Manuscript
which he and his people
had received from the English commander and his officers, and concluded by speaking of a blow which a soldier had given to one of his/men while running after his cousin. He was listened to by all as their chief, and to ' flatter his vanity and increase his pride, all promised to him to do his, bidding. Delighted to see so much submission in three nations, containing four hundred and fifty men, he, cunning as he was, profited of their weakness to get complete mastery over them. For this purpose, he related to them during the council a story of a Wolf Indian, who had been in heaven and had seen the Master of Life, with such eloquence that it had on them all the effect which he had desired.
