- He was killed and scalped by attacking Shawnee Indians.
The incident was described in Pendleton's History of Tazewell County and Southwest Virginia, 1748-1920 as follows:
"On the 6th day of October, a very daring murder was committed at Fort Blackmore, in the present Scott County, when Dale Carter was killed and scalped within fifty-five steps of the fort. The Indians had crawled along and under the bank of the river with the view of making a surprise attack upon the place and capturing it by a bold push. Carter happened to discover the enemy and immediately gave the alarm by "hallooing, murder." One of the Indians fired at Carter and missed him, but another fired and wounded him through the thigh. One of the boldest of the red men, possibly Logan,ran up and tomahawked and scalped the wounded man. A man by the name of Anderson fired from the bastion of the fort at the daring Indian while he was scalping Carter, but failed to hit him."
