First published in 1947, Pontiac and the Indian Uprising is a
product of his time; it is both informative and reflective of the
attitudes that existed fifty years ago about Native Americans.
Howard Peckham examines how Pontiac was able to lead four tribes to
war and inspire the revolt of many more. He looks at the
circumstances that motivated and encouraged him, and finally, at
Pontiac's eventual failure. This comprehensive investigation of
Pontiac's life was difficult because, unable to write, he left no
collection of papers. All of his contemporaries who wrote about him
were also his enemies, so obtaining an objective picture from them
was nearly impossible. Peckham used important source material that
enabled him to understand the Ottawa chief and to trace his
movements with some continuity. The book includes, in full, the few
letters that Pontiac dictated and his speeches.
