Description for Lovewell's Fight
Paperback. Revisits the clash known as "Lovewell's Fight" and thus illuminating the themes of war, death, and memory in early New England. It shows how a military operation plagued from the outset by poor decision-making, and further marred by less-than-heroic battlefield behavior, came to be remembered as early America's version of the Alamo. Num Pages: 244 pages. BIC Classification: 1KBB; HBJK; HBW; JFSL9. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 229 x 152 x 17. Weight in Grams: 367.
In May 1725, during a three-year conflict between English colonists and the Eastern Abenaki Nation, a thirty-four-man expedition led by Captain John Lovewell set out to ambush their adversaries, acquire some scalp bounties, and hasten the end of the war. Instead, the Abenakis staged a surprise attack of their own at Pigwacket, Maine, that left more than a third of the New Englanders dead or severely wounded. Although Lovewell himself was slain in the fighting, he emerged a martyred hero, celebrated in popular memory for standing his ground against a superior enemy force.
