| | Book Review: Never Come To Peace Again: Pontiac’s Uprising by David Dixon |
 | | Dixon’s understanding and explanation for the religious revival, initiated prior to the uprising and often passed over by historians, is an important key to understanding how the nations came so close to driving the whites back across the Allegheny Mountains. |
 | | Neolin was given a vision, by God, that his people must turn away from the white man’s corrupting culture: his rum, clothing, food, and weapons, and only by driving the whites back across the mountains could the people of the nations find their way to heaven. |
 | | Neolin’s revival spread like wildfire among the “five nations of Scioto (Ohio),” among the Seneca, the Pays d’hut nations (the Great Lakes region), and the nations of Illinois. |
