A Revolution ary patriot, soldier, and adopted
son of Durham, N.h., Alexander Scammell served
with distinction through six years of war from
Bunker Hill to Yorktown, where he was wounded,
captured, and died six days later, Oct. 6, 1781.
Born in Mendon (now Milford) Mass., 1747, he

us to do our full duty was Alexander Scammell. This bridge was named for Scammell by the
