Battle of Pequawket

1725 British colonial victory in Dummer's War

The Battle of Pequawket occurred on May 9, 1725 (O.S.), during Dummer's War in northern New England. Captain John Lovewell led a privately organized company of scalp hunters, organized into a makeshift ranger company, and Chief Paugus led the Abenaki at Pequawket, the site of present-day Fryeburg, Maine. The battle was related to the expansion of New England settlements along the Kennebec River.
