On August 5, 1781 Nathanial Segar was a Revolutionary War Soldier in Bethel, Maine helping his Captain, Jonathan Clark, get in his hay when they were surprised by a Tory band of local Indians led by the feared mercenary Tomhegan. While one was killed & scalped, Segar was made captive and taken to Canada where he remained a prisoner until the end of the war. This raid was the last Indian raid in Maine. Segar's narrative, recorded from his spoken word, was published in Paris, Maine, now Paris Hill, in an obscure and small edition in 1824. Tomhegan, when eventually captured, was stripped, tied to the back of a bucking horse and turned loose in an enclosed apple orchard to kill him.
