| | Chief Pontiac - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | He was an ally of France and possibly took part in the victory (9 July 1755) over the Braddock Expedition at the outset of the French and Indian War. | | | Older accounts of the war portrayed Pontiac as a savage but brilliant mastermind behind a massive "conspiracy"; historians today generally agree that Pontiac may have inspired the uprising, but he neither commanded nor coordinated it. | | | Much of what has been written about Pontiac had been based on tradition and speculation, and so depictions of him have varied greatly over the years. |
