In the mid-eighteenth century, the Ottawa chief Pontiac led an intertribal confederacy that resisted British power in the Great Lakes region. This event was immortalized in the play Ponteach, or the Savages of America: A Tragedy. Sami Ludwig contends that Ponteach's literary and artistic merits are worthy of further exploration.
