The Pontiac Manuscript
The other Indians who had remained behind and had seen that, in spite of their comrades, the first bark with the soldiers was saved, fearing that the others might escape them the same way took other means for going to the camp. They made their prisoners disembark, tied them, led them by land to the village of the Ottawas, and took them in their canoes which their women had brought along across the river, directly to Pontiac's camp, where, upon their arrival, according to orders, they made one of the most bloody butcheries, the very recital of which makes one shudder as much as the spectacle itself.
