Lent by Mr, Frederick L, Gay,

A sermon preached on the 16th of May, 1725, by the Rev. Thomas
Symmes of Bradford, Mass., a week after the death of the brave
Lovewell, to which is prefixed an historical memoir which gives us
the best account of the battle which has been transmitted to us. The
name of Lovewell became famous, and the story of his exploits was
rehearsed everywhere. A mournful ballad, written shortly after the
battle, recounting the chief incidents of the event, was published, and
became a very popular song in the colonies.
Symmes gives the well-known story of the killing of the Indian
chief Paugus by John Chamberlain, now believed to be apocryphal.
Rev. Elias Nason, in the History of Dunstable, says : " Capt. Love-
well was brave, adventurous, and persistent. He died with his gun
loaded and pointed towards the foe. His blood was not spilled in
vain. The action at Pequaket closed the war and insured tranquility.
A treaty of peace was soon made with the different tribes and the
Pequakets, under their leader Adeawanda, removed to Canada^'
