" The leader of the Indians in these engagements was Walternumus, a distinguished sachem and warrior, and in one of these engagements and pos- sibly in this one at Bridgewater, he was slain. It is said that he and Baker fired at each other the same instant; the ball of the Indian grazing Baker's left eyebrow, while his passing through the Indian's heart, he leaped in the air and fell dead. The Indian warrior was royally attired, and Baker hastily seizing his blanket, which was richly ornamented with silver, his powder horn and other ornaments, hastened on with his men.
" But notwithstanding the Indians had been repulsed, the friendly Indian advised Baker and his men to use all possible diligence in their retreat, for he assured them that the number of the Indians would increase every hour and that they would surely return to the attack. Accordingly Baker pushed on the retreat with all possible dispatch, and did not wait for any refresh- ment after the battle. But when they had reached New Chester, now Hill, having crossed a stream, his men were exhausted, through abstinence, forced marches and hard fighting, and they concluded to stop and refresh themselves at whatever risk, concluding that they inight as well perish by the tomahawk as by famine.
" But here again was a call for Indian strategem. The friendly Indian told every man to build as many fires as he could in a given time ; as the pursu- ing Indians would judge of their numbers by the number of their fires. He told them also that each man should make him four or five forks of crotched sticks, and use them all in roasting a single piece of pork, then leave an equal number of forks round each fire, and the Indians would infer, if they came up, that there were as many of the English as there were forks and this might turn them back.
" The Indian's council was followed to the letter, and the company moved on with fresh speed. But before they were out of hearing and while the fires they had left were still burning, the pursuing Indians with additional rein- forcements, came up and counting the fires and the forks, the warriors whooped a retreat, for they were alarmed at the numbers of the English. Baker and his men were no longer annoyed by these troublesome atten- dents but were allowed peacefully to return to their homes, owing their pres- ervation, no doubt, to the counsel of the friendly Indian who acted as their guide. Baker's river is supposed to have been so named to perpetuate the remembrance of this brilliant affair of Lieut. Baker at its mouth.
" This is the first party of whites that we have any authentic account of having passed along the course of this winding river, which was from that time forth to take the name of their illustrious leader. The date of this expedition of Baker is stated by Whiton in his history of New Hampshire to have been 1724, but this is evidently an error, as the journal of the Massa- chusetts legislature shows that Lieut. Thomas Baker, as commander of a company in a late expedition to Coös and over to Merrintack river and so to

Dunstable, brought in his claim, for Indian scalps, which was allowed and paid, in May, 1712, and an additional allowance made for the same, June II, 1712, which would seem to fix the time beyond question. In addition to other pay, Baker was promoted to the rank of Captain, by which title he is generally known."
From about the year 1665 down to 1760, with a few brief intervals of peace, a constant war was waged between the French and their Indian allies of Can- ada against the English colonists and the Indians who espoused their cause -- an echo of the jealousies rife in the old world. In 1748 the peace of Aux- La-Chapelle was signed, between France and England, ushering in the last of those brief periods of quiet in America. It was during this comparatively quiet period that New Hampshire was first permitted to adopt any measures towards securing to itself the valuable tract of country in the northern part of the Connecticut valley. In 1752 the governor of the province made sev- eral grants of townships on both sides of the Connecticut, and a plan was laid for taking possession of the "rich meadows of Cohos,"* glowing ac- counts of which had been heard from hunters and returned captives.
The original design was to cut a road from "No. 4," or Charlestown, to the Cohos ; to lay out two townships, one on each side of the river, and opposite to each other, where Haverhill and Newbury now are. They were to erect stockades, with lodgements for two hundred men, in each township, enclos- ing a space of fifteen acres; in the center of which was to be a citadel, con- taining the public buildings and granaries, which were to be large enough to receive all the inhabitants and their movable effects, in case of necessity. As an inducement for people to remove to this new plantation, they were to have courts of judicature, and other civil privileges, among themselves, and were to be under strict military discipline.
Before this plan was put into execution, an event occurred which changed the contemplated tactics. In the spring of 1752, John Stark, afterwards Gen- eral Stark, Amos Eastman, afterwards of Hollis, N. H., David Stinson, of Londonderry, and William Stark, were hunting upon Baker's river, in the present town of Rumney. They were surprised by a party of ten Indians. John Stark and Amos Eastman were taken prisoners, Stinson was killed, and William Stark escaped by flight. John Stark and Eastman were carried into captivity to the headquarters of the St. Francis tribe in Canada, and were led directly through the "Meadows," so much talked of in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. The captives retured that summer, and their accounts still further stimulated the desire for exploring and securing possession of the locality. The breaking out of hostilities between France and England again was momentarily expected, and the government of the province feared the French would establish a garrison at the coveted point ; accordingly, it was determined to send a company to explore the region, not by the way of the Connecticut from "No. 4," but pursuing the route taken by the Indians and their captives.
* Coos was originally spelled Cohos.

GRAFTON COUNTY.
In the spring of 1754 a company was sent out under Colonel Lovewell, Major Tolford and Captain Page, with John Stark as guide. Leaving Con- cord on the roth of March, they reached the Connecticut, in the present town of Piermont, in seven days. The party remained there one night, and then, probably through fear of an Indian attack, made a precipitate retreat to Con- cord, arriving thirteen days after their departure.
But the Government was not discouraged by this failure, and the same season, 1754, Capt. Peter Powers, of Hollis, N. H., Lieut. James Stevens and Ensign Ephraim Hale, both of Townsend, Mass., were appointed to march at the head of a company to effect, if possible, what had hitherto been attempted in vain. The company rendezvoused at Concord, which was then called Rumford, and commenced their tour on Saturday, June 15, 1754. From their journal we learn that they went by way of Contocook up the Merrimack to the mouth of the Pemigewasset, and then followed the latter stream to Baker's river, then up Baker's river across by Baker ponds and on to Oliverian river at the falls, where they arrived June 25tlı, ten days after their departure from Concord.
This places the company upon the banks of the Oliverian river, in the pres- ent town of Haverhill, the site ultimately to be chosen for the first settlement in the territory included within the limits of Grafton county. Their journey was continued the following morning, and proceeding between the valley of the Connecticut and that of the Ammonoosuc, upon the highlands of Bath, Lyman and Littleton, on the night of the 29th we find them encamped in the southern part of Dalton. On the 2d of July they had penetrated to the vicinity of the present Northumberland, whence they turned about and began to retrace their steps.
On the night of the fifth they encamped just below the mouth of Wells's river, on the opposite side of the Connecticut. On the morning of the 6th they " marched down the Great river," says the Journal, " to the great Cohos and crossed the river below the great turn of cleared interval, and there left the Great river, and steered south by east about three miles, and there camped. Here was the best of upland, and some quantity of large white pines." On this item of the Journal the Rev. Grant Powers, in his "Histor- ical Sketches of the Coos Country," comments as follows: "I think they crossed into Haverhill at the 'Dow farm' (now Keyes farm), so called, and the three miles brought them to Haverhill Corners, and their description of it answers to the description given by the first settlers. I would say to the people of Haverhill Corner that eighty-five years ago, on the sixth of July last (1839), your common was the encampment of an explor- ing company, sent out by the government of England ; that this company felt themselves surrounded by a vast wilderness; and, while the towering trees of the forest formed their canopy, they confided in their own vigilance and prowess, under God, to protect them from beasts of prey and savage men. Well you may exclaim, while in your sealed houses and while surveying from your windows your ample fields and meadows, 'What hath God wrought ?'"

LAND TITLE CONTROVERSY.
At this point the Journal ends, and imagination only can trace the balance of the journey of this little band through the primitive forests to the territory of which we write.
The French and Indian war soon came on, and from this time until after the close of hostilities nothing more was done toward exploring or settling the " Cohos Country." In 1761, however, immediately after the war, two men became very much interested in consummating the original plan of laying out two townships on the "rich meadows of Cohos." These men were Col. Jacob Bailey, of Newbury, and Capt. John Hazen, of Haverhill, Mass. During that summer, as a preliminary to actual settlement, Captain Hazen sent two men, Michael Johnston and John Pettie, on with his cattle, who took possession of the "Little Ox-Bow," in the present town of Haverhill. Here they remained in solitude until the spring of 1762, when Captain Hazen came on with hands and materials for building a grist-mill and saw-mill on the present Swazey mill site. Col. Joshua Howard, who died here January 7, 1839, at the age of nearly ninety nine years, related that he and two others were the first among the settlers who came on that spring, taking a straight course from Salisbury to Haverhill, in April. He, with Jesse Harriman and Simeon Stevens, em- ployed an old hunter at Concord to guide them through. They took a course west of Newfound pond, in Hebron, followed up the northwest branch of Baker's river, into Benton, and down the Oliverian to the Connecticut, per- forming the journey from Concord in four days. On the 18th of May, of the following year, the two coveted townships were granted, one taking the name of Newbury, the other of Haverhill. The former, as is well known, through the adjustment of the boundary line between New York and New Hamp- shire, ultimately became a part of the territory of Vermont. The history of the latter town will be detailed in a future chapter.
In 1765 settlements were made in Orford, Lyme, Hanover, Lebanon and Plymouth, and two years later, in 1767, the territory included within the pres- ent limits of the county had a population of 747 souls. Six years later, in 1773, the population had increased to 2,922, while only two years later, in 1775, it numbered 3,296. The details of the settlements thus made we now leave to the sketches of the several towns.
LAND TITLE CONTROVERSY.
The settlement of the western and southern boundary lines of New Hamp- shire, and of the location of the western boundary of the Masonian Grant, was long a subject of dispute among the proprietors and settlers, and thus gave rise to much trouble and litigation relative to land titles. The settle_ ment of the Mason line was long a bone of contention, and it was not finally adjusted until after the Revolution, when a curved line, intended to be sixty miles from the sea shore, was decided upon.
For a period of sixteen years there was a controversy between the author- ities of Massachusetts and New Hampshire, relative to the boundary line between the Provinces, and a contest kept up in regard to the control of the
II2

territory in the vicinity of Hinsdale and Fort Dummer. Finally, on the 5th of March, 1740, George II. decreed that the line between New Hampshire and Massachusetts should be surveyed in accordance with certain special in- structions, and in 1741 the line was run by Richard Hazen, and found to leave about sixteen miles of Massachusetts, disputed territory in New Hamp- shire, upon which that province had already made several grants. In his in- struction thereto the King recommended the Assembly of New Hampshire to care for and protect the settlers about Fort Dummer, whichi was on the west side of the river. From this royal recommend, Governor Benning Went- worth naturally supposed that the King recognized the jurisdiction of New Hampshire as extending to the same point west as Massachusetts, namely, a point twenty miles east of the Hudson river. Accordingly, on the applica- tion of William Williams and sixty-one others, January 3, 1749, he chartered a township six miles square, in what is now the southwestern corner of Ver- mont, but, as he supposed, in the southwestern corner of New Hampshire.
As early as 1763 he had granted other townships lying west of the Con- necticut river, to the number of about 138. The population therein had grown to quite respectable proportions, and the section had come to be known as the New Hampshire Grants. In 1763, however, Lieutenant Gov- ernor Tryon, of New York, laid claim to the territory, by virtue of a grant made by Charles II., to the Duke of York, in 1664, which included "all the land from the west side of Connecticut river to the east side of Delaware Bay." Finally, on application of the government of New York, it was decided by George III., in council of July 10, 1764, that "the western bank of the Con- necticut river should thereafter be regarded as the boundary line between the Province of New York and the Province of New Hampshire." With the war between the settlers of the grants and government of New York, which lasted for full a quarter of a century, we have nothing to do. It belongs to the his- tory of Vermont. Of the abortive attempt to create a new state from por- tions of New Hampshire and Vermont, the reader is referred to pages 36-37.
REVOLUTIONARY WAR.
Want of space forbids our giving an extended sketch of the war for inde- pendence-neither is it required, for all readers are conversant with that epoch in our country's history. The people of New Hampshire had always been loyal to the mother country ; but when their liberties were at stake, they were quite as zealous to defend their rights as they of their sister states, and furnished their full quota of men for the great struggle. So far as we have been able, we have mentioned the part each town took, in their respective sketches. Of the War of 1812 we may say the same.
WAR OF THE UNION.
It seems but a recent dream, the election of Abraham Lincoln to the Presidency in 1860, the occupation of Fort Sumter by Major Anderson, and the final attack upon it ; then, like the shock of an earthquake. the follow- ing years of blood and carnage. But it was a fearful dream, and eyes are still

red with weeping over it in not a few of the homes of our land. Side by side with her sister states, New Hampshire endured the weary marches and bore the brunt of battles, and side by side their sons sleep the long sleep-some beneath the sun-kissed plains of the wilful South, some rocked in the bosom of the broad Atlantic, ' held in the hollow of His hand," while others have been borne to rest among their kindred, by sympathizing friends, who, year by year to muffled drum beat, wend their way to their consecrated tombs to deck their graves with beautiful spring flowers-a national tribute to the memory of the gallant dead.
The following table gives a fair synopsis of the number of the soldiers which each town of the county furnished on the call of July, 1862, and sub- sequent calls ; and the number of soldiers who were killed in or died from the effects of the war, and amount of municipal war loan awarded to each town :-

ROSTER OF FIELD, STAFF AND COMPANY OFFICERS.
