The Pontiac Manuscript
The savages made fun of them and kept on in their route to the camp of Pontiac with their prizes.
Monday, June 6, the weather being misty and a little rainy, caused the Indians to be content to watch the surroundings of the fort without firing a single gun, but to get even, others went to the settlers to make them give provisions, which they did readily enough. This, however, did not prevent the Indians from doing some mischief, continually killing cows or pigs, and even in the grain which they spoiled in going and coming, because they could not pass along the highway on account of the large bark which fired upon them when they showed themselves.
