Its name recalls a military officer Lt. Thomas Baker ( 1682 - 1753 ), whose company of 34 scouts from Northampton, Massachusetts passed down this valley in 1712 and destroyed a Pemigewasset Indian village. It was along this river on April 28 , 1752 that John Stark and Amos Eastman were captured by Abenaki warriors and taken to Saint-François, Quebec , near Montreal . John Stark's brother William Stark escaped and David Stinson was killed during the Ambush . On the 1835 Thomas Bradford map of New Hampshire, the river is shown as "Bakers" River, originating on "Mooshillock Mtn." Major tributaries to the Baker include Pond Brook and Stinson Brook. There is a large fish Hatchery on the Baker River in the town of Warren . SEE ALSO |
