Part I - General View- History

1722 - John Wentworth was appointed governor and commander in chief.  A declaration 
of war against all the hostile tribes of Indians was published at Portsmouth and Boston, 
and a bounty of 100 l. was offered for every Indian scalp.  This, which was called Lovell’s 
war, was bloody and distressing, and continued until December 15th, 1725, at which time 
articles of peace were signed at Falmouth.
