 him.^ 



1 Tradition related bv M. Franr-ois Baby, of Windsor, U. C, the son 

 of Pontiac's friend, who lives opposite Detroit, upon nearly the same site 

 formerly occupied by his father's house. Though Pontiac at this time 

 assumed the attitude of a protector of the Canadians, he had previously, 

 according to the anonymous Diary of the Siege, bullied them exceedingly, 

 compelUng them to plough land for him, and do other work. Once he 

 forced them to carry him in a sedan chair from house to house, to look 

 for provisions.
