In May 1725, on the contested colonial Maine and New Hampshire frontier, Captain John Lovewell fought his final battle at Piggwacket against Abenaki warriors. The grief here feels raw. Written only months later by minister Thomas Symmes, Historical Memoirs of the Late Fight at Piggwacket combines a vivid colonial American war memoir with an 18th century funeral sermon for Lovewell and the men who fell beside him. Symmes records the course of the action, the courage and suffering of the company, and the religious meanings their community laid upon sacrifice and death. As a primary source battle narrative of Lovewells Fight Piggwacket 1725, this is a rare window into early 18th century New England, the New England Indian wars, and frontier warfare during the Abenaki conflict known in Father Rales War history as Dummers War. Scholars of colonial history, theology, and rhetoric will recognise a valuable colonial history researchers edition, while general readers encounter the stark realities of the colonial Maine New Hampshire frontier in the very language of the time. For military history collectors, it offers both immediacy and reflection, standing out among Dummers War battle accounts as a community mourning its dead while trying to make sense of war. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today, a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
