The War Chief of the Ottawas : A chronicle of the Pontiac war

"The War Chief of the Ottawas: A Chronicle of the Pontiac War" by Thomas Guthrie Marquis is a story from the early 1900s about a war in America's past. It's mainly about Pontiac, an Ottawa chief who brought different tribes together to fight the British after the French and Indian War. After the British won against France in 1760, colonists in America were happy, but they started to think they were better than the Indigenous people who used to be friends with the French. The book explains that the British didn't really understand or respect the Native American tribes, which led to a lot of anger. This anger eventually caused Pontiac to become a leader and start a big fight. As more settlers moved west, things got worse, and old friendships and problems between the tribes came to light which made things even more complicated during this important time in North American history.
