Mog (Abenaki leader)

Mog (c. 1663 – 23 August 1724) was an Abenaki leader who resisted the expansion of the British New England Colonies onto his homeland during the late 17th and early 18th centuries.

Born in about 1663, he was the son of an Abenaki leader also named Mog, who was killed in 1677.

After the 1713 Peace of Utrecht, Mog was forced to capitulate, giving the New Englanders free passage through their territory.

Alongside Father Sebastien Rale, he was killed in the Battle of Norridgewock on 23 August 1724 after being shot by a British-allied Mohawk whose son narrowly escaped being killed by Mog's musket fire.
