On 29 October 1763 Pontiac was ordered by the French to
surrender.
On 1 November post commander Major Henry Gladwin
wrote General Amherst. “They have lost between 80 and
90 of their best warriors; but if your Excellency still intends
to punish them
further for their barbarities, it may be easily done without
any expense to the Crown by permitting a free sale of rum,
which will destroy them more effectually than fire and sword.”
On
18 April 1765 Pontiac accepted the English as his brothers.
