Dartmouth, Raid on (1749)

Years: 1749 - 1749

The Raid on Dartmouth (1749) occurs during Father Le Loutre’s War on September 30, 1749, when a Mi’kmaq militia from Chignecto raids Major Ezekiel Gilman's sawmill at present-day Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, killing four workers and wounding two.

This raid is one of seven the Wabanaki Confederacy and Acadians will conduct against the settlement during the war.

"We cannot be certain of being right about the future; but we can be almost certain of being wrong about the future, if we are wrong about the past."

—G. K. Chesterton, What I Saw in America (1922)
