    3. Jody and list, For anyone interested, this is almost certainly the historical marker just west of the Merrimack River bridge on U.S. Route 4, south of Boscawen, and about a mile west of the junction with I-93. Dustin's Island, where the events descibed took place, is just south of Rt. 4 at this point.

I have no idea where in NH this pic was taken. But I thought that someone researching that line might like to see it. Email me off list and I'll be happy to email a copy. Jody The sign reads; Hannah Dustin 1657-1737 Famous symbol of frontier heroism. A victim of an Indian raid in 1697, on Haverhill, Massachusetts, whence she had been taken to a camp site on the nearby island in the river. After killing and later scalping ten Indians, she and the two other captives, Mary Neff and Samuel Lennardson, escaped down river to safety.
