was dressed in the full uniform of a French officer, which the Marquis Montcalm had presented him at the close of the French war as a special mark of respect. He remained at St. Louis a number of days, when hearing that a large number of Indians were assembled at Coho- kia, on the opposite side of the river, he said he would cross over and see what was going on, and against the advice of St. Ange, he, with a few followers, crossed the river, and the party never saw him alive again. Entering the village, he was soon known and invited to a grand party, where liquor circulated freely. Pontiac, with all his dig- nity, could not resist the native passion for strong drink, and imbibed deeply. At this village was an English trader named Williamson, who looked upon Pontiac with jealousy, and resolved to put him out of the way, if possible. After the feast referred to, the chief strolled down the village street into the adjacent woods, where he was heard to sing his medicine song. It is related that Williamson bribed a Kaskasia Indian, with the promise of a barrel of rum, to assassinate the chief. The Indian followed him into the timber, and watching his oppor- tunity, stole up behind him, and dispatched him with his tomahawk. The murdered chief lay where he fell until St. Ange, learning of the tragedy, sent for the body, and had it taken over to St. Louis, where it was interred with the honors of war near the fort. The natives of the northwest united and visited a terrible vengeance upon the Illinois Indians for this great crime, almost totally exterminating them, the remnant of them never afterwards figuring in history.


History informs us that this great chieftain made the lake country near the present city of Pontiac the place of his summer home. Pitch- ing his tent on the island in Orchard Lake, known to the Indians as " Me-nah-sa-gorning," meaning "the place of the Orchard," he passed the warm season in that beautiful locality, nowhere surpassed in the west.


Not alone in Michigan is the name of this great chieftain remem- bered, for on the prairies of Illinois another flourishing city does honor to the most princely Indian that ever trod the soil of the mighty west.


MAJOR ROBERT ROGERS.


Major Robert Rogers, to whom Detroit was surrendered, was a native of New Hampshire, and was commissioned by that province, but received his orders from Sir Jeffrey Amherst, to ascend the lakes with a detachment of provincial rangers, and take possession in the name of his Britannic majesty of Detroit, Michilmackinac and other western posts. Montreal and Quebec, and the whole of Canada, had at this time been ceded and formally occupied by the English, the terms of the treaty including all the French possessions on the contin-


- 56 -


ent. Stark and Putnam, afterward so distinguished in the war of the revolution, were the companions of Major Rogers in this expedition. Major Rogers left Montreal September 12th, 1760, with two hundred rangers in fifteen whale boats, and proceeded up the St. Lawrence, and skirting the north shore of Lake Ontario, reached Fort Niagara the first of October. Carrying their boats over the portage, they launched them above the falls of Niagara river, and slowly pro- ceeded up Lake Erie. Major Rogers in the meanwhile, with a few men, hastened on to Fort Pitt (now Pittsburg) to deliver dispatches with which he was charged to General Monckton, then in command of that fort. This accomplished, he rejoined his command at Presque Isle about the end of October, and following the south shore of Lake Erie, reached the mouth of the Cuyahoga river, the present site of Cleveland, November 10, where no body of British troops had ever advanced before. There his troops encamped for needed rest.


Soon after the arrival of the rangers, a party of Indian chiefs visited their camp, proclaiming themselves an embassy from Pontiac, ruler of all that country, and in his name forbade the English to advance any further until they could have an interview with their great chief. Before the day closed, Pontiac himself appeared (this being the first time in history that the name of this remarkable man is men- tioned). He greeted Rogers with the haughty demand, "What is your business in this country, and how dare you enter without my per- mission ?" The major informed him that Canada had surrendered, and that he was on his way to take possession of Detroit. Pontiac replied that he should stand in the path until morning, and inquired if the strangers were in need of anything which his country afforded. In the morning Pontiac returned with his chiefs, and replied to Major Rogers, "That he was willing the English should remain in peace, so long as they treated him and his people with respect." The Indian chiefs and provincial officers then smoked the Calumet together, and perfect harmony seemed to have been established.


On the 12th of November Rogers broke camp and started again, and in a few days had reached the western end of Lake Erie. Here he learned that a body of Detroit Indians were in arms against him, and lay in ambush at the mouth of Detroit river; but owing to the influence of Pontiac, the warriors abandoned their design, and the rangers proceeded on their way to Detroit. In the meantime Lieu- tenant Brem was sent forward with a letter to Captain Bellestre, the French commandent at Detroit, stating that the garrison at Detroit was included in the capitulation of Canada, and that an English detachment was on its way to take possession. He questioned this intelligence, and determined to assume a hostile attitude, and at the same time sought to arouse the Indians to aid and co-operate with him; in this he failed.


-57 -


Rogers had now entered Detroit river, and he despatched Camp- bell with a copy of the articles of capitulation and a letter from the Marquis of Nandreuil, directing that the place should be given up in accordance with the terms of the capitulation agreed upon between himself and General Amherst. Captain De Bellestre then placed him- self at the disposal of the English commander. As the whale boats of the rangers moved slowly up the river, they saw on the right the villa- ges of the Wyandottes, and on the left the lodges of the Pottawatomies, and beyond, up the stream, the flag of France, flying for the last time above the fortification of the little town. The rangers landed on the opposite side of the river and pitched their tents, while two officers with a small detachment went across the river to take possession of the place. Obedient to their summons, the French garrison defiled upon the plain and stacked their arms, the fleur-de-lis was lowered from the flag staff, and the cross of St. George hoisted in its place, while seven hundred Indian warriors, late allies of France, looked on with surprise. The French Canadian militia were then disarmed on the 29th day of November, when Detroit fell into the hands of the English. The gar- rison were sent as prisoners to Philadelphia, but the Canadians were permitted to return to their farms and homes on taking the oath of allegiance to the British crown.


Major Rogers estimated the population at this time at 2,500, including the settlements on both sides of the river. Major Rogers and his rangers were relieved in 1761 by a detachment of regular troops under command of Captain Campbell, and returned then (December 23) to the Province of New Hampshire, via Pittsburg.


ENGLISH COMMANDERS.


The commanders at Detroit from 1760 to 1796 were, first, Major Robert Rogers, a native of the province of New Hampshire. He was succeeded by Major Campbell, who, accompanied by Lieutenant George McDougall, Dr. Jean Chapoton and Jacques Godfrey, visited the camp of Pontiac on the latter's invitation or request, for the pur- pose of considering proposals, or, as the chief termed it, "to settle all difficulties and smoke the pipe of peace together." As soon as they reached his camp and were in his power, Pontiac sent back Dr. Cha- poton and Godfrey with the message that Major Campbell and Lieut. McDougall were retained as hostages for the surrender of the fort. McDougall escaped, but Major Campbell, while walking out, was slain by a Chippewa, whose uncle had been killed by the English. Pontiac is said to have exhausted every means to apprehend and punish the mur- derer, but he had fled beyond his reach. The death of Major Camp- bell was a sad blow to the besieged. Major Gladwyn had superseded


- 58-


Major Campbell, and was in command when the tragical death of the latter occurred. Gladwyn is described as tall, well proportioned, haughty in manner, but determined and brave in action, thoroughly English in his prejudices, and hence was not so highly esteemed, either by his subordinates or by the French inhabitants, as Major Campbell, who was loved by all the whites and respected by the Indians; hence the loss of Campbell was felt by Gladwyn, and very much interfered with his carrying out the policy of the English authorities, viz .: to con- ciliate both the French and Indians. As stated heretofore, Gladwyn was a brave officer, but preferred to employ the force of arms in establishing English authority rather than conciliatory means. The interview between him and Pontiac thus described, illustrates the char- acter of the man. This interview was had pursuant to the plans of Pontiac for the capture of the fort, which had been communicated to Gladwyn by the Indian maiden. Pontiac was to make a speech, at its close he was to present the Wampum belt, which was to be the signal of attack, the chiefs were to spring up and fire upon the officers, and the Indians outside were to fall upon the garrison. Pontiac arose, and stretching his majestic form to its full height, and addressing Gladwyn, said, he and his chiefs had come to smoke the pipe of peace and strengthen the bonds of friendship. He spoke of the number of his braves and their deeds. In his hand he held the sacred emblem of peace, with which he was to give the signal of attack. As he raised the belt to give the preconcerted signal, the commandent drew his hand across his forehead, and at once a sudden clash of arms was heard without, the drums rolled the charge, and the tramp of armed men resounded through the streets. The major himself appeared unmoved, but his eye was fixed immovably upon the chief, who, with looks of astonishment, stammered out more professions of friendship, and pre- sented the belt in the usual manner, which Gladwyn received, saying to the chiefs, "they could rely on his friendship as long as they deserved it, but threatened them with vengeance for any act of perfidy." The gates were then opened, and Pontiac and his chiefs were permitted to pass out. He moved off alone and embarked in his canoe to the Ottawa village on the opposite side of the river, and that night moved his camp to the Detroit side, and before night occupied the rise of ground east of Parent creek, which he intrenched. Gladwyn, with all his arrogance and English pride, nevertheless yielded to the charms of a French maiden, Madeleine de Tonnancour, a relative of Jacques God- froy; but it appears that he had a successful rival in Captain Dalzell, a young English officer attached to the staff of General Amherst. Madeleine was an orphan, and had been educated at the Ursuline con- vent at Quebec. She is said to have possessed great beauty and many personal accomplishments. She first met Captain Dalzell at a ball at Quebec, where a mutual attachment was formed. Her relatives were


-59-


opposed to her marriage, and being a minor, she was compelled to submit to their control. She therefore conceived the plan of retiring from the gay world of Quebec, and came to Detroit. Her arrival was just at the commencement of the Indian troubles, and the society was very different from that she had left. Gladwyn first met her at Madam Ruisseaux, who was a relative, and the times being troublesome, the ladies were continually beset with fears of Indian depredations. Glad- wyn sought to quiet and soothe their apprehensions, and soon his calls became frequent. It was soon evident that the English officer forgot his own precarious position when in the society of Madeleine. She, too, was flattered by his attentions, which served to beguile many anxious hours; but when he placed his heart and hand at her disposal, she declined to listen, and became more distant. He then approached Jacques Godfroy, her relative, and sought to enlist his influence with Madeleine. Godfroy, much surprised, refused, but couched his refusal in a courteous manner. Gladwyn was exceedingly angry, and said something which roused the temper of the Frenchman, who, making a bitter retort, left the officers' quarters. Godfroy on returning to his sister's, and relating to her and Madeleine what occurred, remarked that he would be obliged to leave the fort at a moment's notice, for, said he, "I noticed from the glitter of the major's steel gray eyes, that mischief is in store for me." A few days passed, when Madeleine saw a long line of batteaux crowded with men coming up the river, and on the landing of the troops, recognized as their commander Captain Dalzell, her former lover. As soon as Dalzell learned that Madeleine was in the fort, he, in company with Gladwyn, sought her presence. Dalzell's reception by Madeleine at once revealed to Gladwyn why his suit was denied, and he at once took his leave. Madeleine then related her troubles, when he informed her they would soon end, "for with Major Gladwyn's consent, I will attack Pontiac in his intrenchments with my three hundred veterans, and you shall no longer be confined here through fear of these savages." History informs us that Glad- wyn gave his consent, the attack was made, and Captain Dalzell lost his life. On being informed of his death, Madeleine lost consciousness, and soon followed him. It is said that Gladwyn seemed ever after like one burdened with a great sorrow.


The other officers who participated in the battle of Bloody Run in this attack on Pontiac's camp were, Captain Gray, who commanded the center line. He was killed about a mile from the camp while returning to the fort.


Captain Grant commanded the rear detachments, and followed immediately behind Dalzell, and was able to maintain the position assigned him and cover the retreat.


Lieutenant Brown led the advance with twenty-five men.


- 60 -


Captain Dalzell exhibited great bravery during the whole fight, and was twice wounded in the early part of the action, but while rallying his troops for the third advance, stepping out of the ranks to relieve a wounded soldier, was shot dead by a ball from the enemy.


Major Robert Rogers, who had been ordered to return to Detroit with his rangers from New Hampshire, also bore a part in the fight. He gained possession of the M. Campau house, which commanded the road, and covered the retreat of the retiring regular troops.


General Bradstreet arrived at Detroit in 1764, and immediately relieved the worn-out garrison. He made a treaty of peace with the Indians, and restored civil law and order.


Lieut. Governor Hamilton was in command in 1776. He was compelled to leave Detroit in consequence of participation in, or being held accountable for, the unjust sentence and execution of one John Conteneinau and Ann Wylie, whom Phillip Jean, a creature of his, found guilty of stealing, and condemned to be hung. Hamilton and Jean were both arrested in Illinois by General Rufus Clark, sent to Virginia, and were never heard of after in Detroit.


During the American Revolution there were five hundred British troops stationed at Detroit under command of Major Lernoult, or Leverault. The success of the American arms at Vincennes, Indiana, induced him to erect a large earth fort, which was bounded on the east by Griswold street, west by Wayne, north by Lafayette and south by Congress streets, and was called Fort Lernoult until after the battle of the Thames in 1813, when it was named Fort Shelby. Leverett street, Detroit, is said to take its name from him.


In 1793 the fort was in command of Colonel England, of the 24th regiment of British regulars, by whom it was given up to the United States in 1796. At this time, 1793, there was anchored before the city rather a formidable fleet, consisting of the brigs Chippewa and Ottawa, carrying eight guns, the brig Dunsmore, six guns, and the sloop Felicity, armed with two swivels, all belonging to his majesty George III, and under the command of Commodore Grant, whose sketch is found elsewhere in this book.

ORGANIZATION OF WAYNE COUNTY.


Winthrop Sargent, Acting Governor of the Northwest Territory, on the ISth of August, 1796, set apart the following portion of the territory -- and named it Wayne, after the noted General Anthony Wayne, better known as Mad Anthony-viz: from the Cuyahoga River (Cleveland), westward to the dividing line now existing between Indiana and Illinois, thence northward to the national boundary line, including all the subsequent Territory of Michigan, which embraced the whole of the present State of Wisconsin, and a portion of the present States of Ohio and Indiana. Detroit was constituted the county seat. The Court of Common Pleas was established, and annually the Supreme Court of the Territory held a session at Detroit until 1803, when Michigan was separated from Ohio. At a session of the Legislature of the Northwest Territory, held at Chillicothe in 1801-2, the Town of Detroit was incorporated, with a Board of Trustees.


TOWNSHIP ORGANIZATIONS.


BROWNSTOWN.


That portion of this township situate on the Detroit river, was settled almost contemporary with Detroit, the older geographies describing it as the seat of Indian councils held between 1780 and 1806, General Hull's most important treaty having been made there during the latter year. It was organized in 1827. Moses Roberts was elected the first supervisor; Jacob Vreeland, clerk; Jacob Knox, William Haz- ard and David Smith, assessors; Wm. Fletcher, Elias Vreeland and Isaac Taylor, commissioners of highway; Arthur Ruark and Garret Vreeland, overseers of the poor; Isaac Taylor, constable; Hiram Hicox, John Conrad and Thomas Long, viewers of fences; Geo. C. Clark and Isaac Taylor, overseers of highway. Among other early settlers were B. F. Knapp, William Munger, John Forbes, Elias James, R. Ransom, Dr. John Leteur, Col. Nathaniel Case, P. J. Clark and Henry Woodruff. G. W. Moore was postmaster under four adminis- trations.
