In the mid to late 1700's the English government paid up to 100 pounds for each adult male Indian scalp. During the winter of 1724 - 1725 a settler named Lovewell and a pary of 80 embarked on a scalp hunting expedition. They left from Dunstable and planned to raid the Pigwacket Valley in New Hampshire and Maine, but found a group of Indians in Saco Maine and scalped them.
