Abstract

T ERE never was a New England Indian, King Philip only excepted, about whom so much has been written as Paugus, who was killed in Lovewell's Fight, at Fryeburg, Maine, in May, 1725. He is described personally again and again. The clothes he wore, the weapons he bore, even the words he said, are recorded-each time differently-by dozens of writers. We have a list of nine different guns, with the names of most of those who owned them twenty years ago, each one said to be the veritable Paugus-killer. A century ago, many a New England schoolboy could declaim with fervid eloquence.
