John Dunn Hunter (ca. 1796–1827)[1] was a leader of the Fredonian Rebellion. Dunn Hunter claimed to be ignorant of his birthplace[2] and that he was taken prisoner with two other white children by Native Americans who either belonged to or were associated with the Kickapoo nation.[3] Dunn Hunter lived with the Kickapoo until 1816[1] but he traveled widely during that time and received a good education[1] at one point meeting Robert Owen in England.[4] Not knowing his real name, Dunn Hunter took on the name of an English benefactor, one John Dunn.[1] The "hunter" was later added due to his abilities in that field.[1] Dunn Hunter arrived in Texas in 1825[5] and in December he was sent by Richard Fields to Mexico with the aim of negotiating for a Cherokee settlement in Texas.[1][5] Dunn Hunter arrived in Mexico City on March 19, 1826[1] but regretfully returned to Texas April 1826 with news of his failure.[6] Dunn Hunter and Fields then opened negotiations with Martin Parmer which culminated in the Fredonian Rebellion.[1] The Cherokee repudiated the rebellion and ultimately it was decided that Fields and Hunter should be put to death.[7] Dunn Hunter escaped but a Mexican militia headed by Peter Ellis Bean was tasked with tracking him down.[7] Dunn Hunter was caught and executed in early February 1827.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 {{cite web|title=Hunter, John Dunn|url=http://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/fhu33|publisher=Texas State Historical Association}} 2. ^{{cite book|last=Dunn Hunter|first=John|title=Memoirs of a Captivity Among the Indians of North America|page=3|url=http://www.merrycoz.org/voices/hunter/HUNTER01.HTM}} 3. ^{{cite book|last=Dunn Hunter|first=John|title=Memoirs of a Captivity Among the Indians of North America|page=4|url=http://www.merrycoz.org/voices/hunter/HUNTER01.HTM}} 4. ^{{cite book|last=Lamborn Wilson|first=Peter|authorlink=Peter Lamborn Wilson|title=Pirate Utopias: Moorish Corsairs and European Renegadoes|publisher=Autonomedia|page=30|isbn=1-57027-158-5}} 5. ^1 {{cite book|last=Everett|first=Dianna|title=The Texas Cherokees: A People between Two Fires, 1819–1840|series=Civilization of the American Indian Series, v. 203|publisher=University of Oklahoma Press|location=Norman, OK|year=1995|page=38|isbn=978-0-585-16884-5}} 6. ^{{cite book|last=Everett|first=Dianna|title=The Texas Cherokees: A People between Two Fires, 1819–1840|series=Civilization of the American Indian Series, v. 203|publisher=University of Oklahoma Press|location=Norman, OK|year=1995|page=41|isbn=978-0-585-16884-5}} 7. ^1 {{cite book|last=Everett|first=Dianna|title=The Texas Cherokees: A People between Two Fires, 1819–1840|series=Civilization of the American Indian Series, v. 203|publisher=University of Oklahoma Press|location=Norman, OK|year=1995|page=47|isbn=978-0-585-16884-5}} External links
