Good looking out OP! Reminds me, I hope they make a movie about David Fagen one day...
The alleged death of David Fagen: American soldiers had issued a wanted poster for the head of Fagen and placed a $600 reward to whoever could capture him.
- A Filipino hunter named Anastacio Bartolome approached the Americans on Dec. 5, 1901, and presented a severed head claiming it was Fagen’s.
- However, no records of Bartolome ever receiving his reward were found.
- The military file for Fagen’s death is reportedly titled, “The Supposed Killing of David Fagen.”
- Although the American soldiers were not convinced by the severed head, they still ended the manhunt for Fagen.
- Reports of his occasional sightings were still made even after his supposed death.
David Fagen was an African American soldier who defected to the Filipino Liberation Army during the U.S.-Philippine War of 1899–1902.
