The Pontiac Manuscript
In the afternoon, Pontiac crossed the river with four chiefs and Held council with the Hurons, in order to engage the good band to join them, by threats of attacking them. The latter, who had not shaken off their allegiance to the tribe, although displeased with what was going on, seeing themselves threatened and closely pressed, and there being not many of them, were obliged to agree to do what the others required of them, and promised at the next day after mass they would join the Foxes in the attack; they could not do so sooner, because it was too high a holiday and it would not do to go into a fight without having heard mass. Pontiac consented to wait until then, and ordered the Foxes to remain behind and wait for the
Hurons.
