5.0 out of 5 stars
Great book with lots of surprises,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Scalp Hunters: Abenaki Ambush at Lovewell Pond, 1725 (Paperback)
If you thought the scalp hunters were the Indians, guess again. This book reveals that the Indians were the HUNTED, and that one of the local chaplains was a scalp hunter. A well-written book packed with info.
