Determined to punish Indians who supported the French and had taken hundreds of English scalps, General Jeffrey Amherst sent New Hampshire militia under Major Robert Rogers against the Abenaki at St Francis in northern Maine. A dawn attack saw <i>"Rogers Rangers"</i> kill about 200 warriors and destroy the village. They suffered heavy losses during the return to Charlestown.
