by Allan Eckert. 718 pages, 6" x 9" Hardbound. After the English victory in the French & Indian War, they started to occupy the lands they won only to meet the resistance of the Indians who saw English as a threat to their lands. This is the story of the Ottawa uprising  under Chief Pontiac. Combining the accuracy of a chronicle and the spellbinding pace of a story well told, Eckert again evokes the high drama of the conquest of the Northwest.
