Hide Profile
Captain John Lovewell of New Hampshire was one of New England's most famous frontiersmen and scalp hunters.
During Dummer's War in the spring of 1725, Lovewell recruited forty-six men to raid the Indian town of Pigwacket, also a tribe of the Abenaki confederacy. Upon approaching Pigwacket on May 8, Lovewell and his men encountered a much larger Indian force than expected. Capt. Lovewell was mortally wounded at the first fire and only eighteen of his men survived the day-long battle.
