(Thomas Guthrie) The War Chief of the Ottawas : A chronicle of the Pontiac war Chronicles of Canada series: Volume 15 This etext was produced by Gardner Buchanan "The War Chief of the Ottawas: A Chronicle of the Pontiac War" by Thomas Guthrie Marquis is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the events surrounding the Pontiac War, focusing primarily on the experiences and leadership of Pontiac, the Ottawa chief who rallied various tribes against British forces following the French and Indian War. The opening of the narrative sets the stage against the backdrop of the triumphant British takeover of Canada after the defeat of France in 1760. It describes the initial euphoria among settlers in the Thirteen Colonies upon hearing of their victory, which soon turned to hubris regarding Indigenous tribes that were previously allied with the French. The text details the misconceptions and disregard that the British colonists had towards Native American nations and outlines the brewing discontent among tribes, eventually leading to Pontiac's leadership and the resultant uprising. With tensions escalating as settlers expanded further west, the groundwork is laid for a series of conflicts where traditional Indigenous alliances and grievances surface, illustrating the complexity of the relationships at play during this significant period in North American history.
