Everything about John Alderman totally explained
John Alderman was a
Praying Indian who shot and killed
Metacomet (also known as King Philip) in
1676 as part of an expedition led by
Captain Benjamin Church.
As a reward, Alderman received King Philip's head and one hand. The rest of his body was quartered and hung on trees. Alderman later sold the severed head to the
Plymouth authorities for 30 shillings, a standard rate for Indian heads during
King Philip's War. The head was then placed on a stake in Plymouth where it remained for the next 25 years. Reportably Alderman would exhibit the scarred hand of Philip for a fee.
