Death of Pontiac era battles near Detroit reported
An extract from Sir Jeffery Amherst’s express dated New York September 3 recounts Capt. Dalyell’s night assault with 247 men near Fort Detroit. The detachment routed the Indian defenders, advanced through fences and houses, and suffered many casualties including Dalyell killed and Capt. Gray wounded. Reports detail subsequent actions at edge Hill and Fort Pitt with captains, lieutenants, and many soldiers killed or wounded, highlighting Bouquet’s praise for officers and troops during the fighting against Pontiac’s forces in 1763.
