You might try looking at the British General Bouquet at Ft. Pitt,
the reference I have for that is incomplete...Weslager, 1978; p. 20.
Also, try Francis Parkman's "History of the Conspiracy of Pontiac"
Boston: Little and Brown, 1851.

Howard Peckham, "Pontiac and the Indian Uprising" 1953.

A.F.C. Wallace, "The Death and Rebirth of the Seneca" 1972.

You can probably get notes on the primary documents from those sources.

Good luck...
