The Siege Of Detroit In 1763

The Siege of Detroit in 1763 is a historical account of the events that took place during Pontiac's Rebellion, a Native American uprising against British rule in the Great Lakes region. The book is a compilation of two primary sources: the journal of Pontiac, the leader of the rebellion, and the narrative of John Rutherfurd, a British captive who was taken by the Native Americans during the siege of Detroit. Pontiac's journal provides a firsthand account of the planning and execution of the rebellion, as well as his interactions with other Native American leaders and British officials. Rutherfurd's narrative details his experiences as a captive, including his interactions with his captors, the conditions of his captivity, and his eventual release. Together, these two sources provide a unique perspective on one of the most significant events in colonial American history. The book includes an introduction and annotations by the editor, providing context and analysis for the primary sources. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Native American history, colonial America, and the history of the Great Lakes region.The Lakeside Classics V56. Preface By C. M.
