At dawn on 8 September 1756 about 300 Pennsylvania provincials under Colonel John Armstrong attacked Kittanning. The Delaware town on the Allegheny River was the base for raids that had been striking the Pennsylvania frontier. Only weeks earlier, Delaware warriors led by Captain Jacobs had taken and burned Fort Granville. Many of the town's people got away, but Jacobs barricaded himself and his family in his house and fought back from inside. The house caught fire, powder stored inside it exploded, and Jacobs was killed trying to escape the flames. Pennsylvania hailed the raid as a victory, Armstrong was known afterward as the "Hero of Kittanning," and his men collected the bounty on Jacobs's scalp.

This warrior stands square to fire, his musket levelled and his elbows raised. His shaved head is painted red, with the scalp lock wrapped in red and black paint ringing his eyes. Silver bands circle his arms and wrists, and a beaded bag hangs from a strap over his shoulder. Below are a red breechcloth with a powder horn at the belt, blue leggings with beaded red garters, and moccasins. Form a firing line with Native Warrior Kneeling Firing No.2 and Native American Warrior Kneeling Firing in front of him. Put Native Warrior Loading Musket behind them to keep the fire going.
