In 1763 a powerful Ottawa chief set in motion the most formidable Indian resistance that the English-speaking people had ever faced when he issued a call to Indian tribes in Michigan to assert their independence of the British. Daring to opose the westward expansion by European settlers, Pontiac temporarily halted the movement. With his defeat, one era of Indian history ended and another began. Originally published in 1947, Pontiac and the Indian Uprising was the first biography of Pontiac. The book continues to be a fascinating historical document about the man who initiated an inspiring episode in Michigan's past.
