Woodlands nations were small, and every warrior lost was a hunter, husband and son his village could not easily replace. Warriors took great risks to carry their wounded off the field and to recover or hide their dead, so the enemy could not take scalps from them. Their opponents often never knew what a fight had cost the other side. After the battle at Point Pleasant on the Ohio River in October 1774, a Virginia officer reported that the number of Shawnee dead could not be known. They had kept carrying their fallen away through the fight and putting them into the river.

This warrior has just been hit. He staggers back with one hand pressed to his face, his musket still gripped in the other, and one bare foot lifted off the ground as he loses his balance. His head is painted red, with dark paint across his eyes. He wears a beaded strap across his chest, a red-and-white striped breechcloth, and blue-grey leggings tied with red garters. Set him at the front of a war party taking fire from 42nd Grenadier Standing Firing No.1 or Rogers' Rangers Standing Firing, No.1. Place Native Warrior Casualty on the ground beside him.

W. Britain model 16016. 1/30 scale (approximately 60mm), matte-painted metal. Single foot figure on a sculpted groundwork base. Boxed.
