The Pontiac Manuscript
The Foxes of St. Joseph, who had attacked the Englishmen at that place and had made themselves masters of the fort, after having killed a part of the garrison and taken the others. prisoners, left the fort in the keeping of the French settlers at that place and came, with their prsioners, who numbered seven and included the commander, to join the Foxes of Detroit and arrived in the night before at the village. Having learned that the Englishmen had two Indians of their nation as prisoners in the fort, they came about four o'clock in the afternoon with a certain Mr. Gammalin, to the foot of the fort for entering into agreement with the officers of the fort and making an exchange by giving up the officer who commanded St. Joseph for the two Indians who were in the fort.
