So does Tamara Chipman, though I'm not sure how she would get from Prince Rupert BC Canada to Kentucky.

Scalping was a widespread practice in North America for thousands of years and, for some tribes, was an important rite of passage—in other words, anybody who was anybody took scalps. Scalps were not only a trophy but also a fashion statement, decorating a man’s clothes and weapons. What one wore literally spoke volumes, and a man festooned in scalp pelts and tassels was someone to be reckoned with.
Luxuriant or distinctively colored hair was highly sought-after, and victims were often singled out in raids for this reason. It’s a morbid irony that the Scotch-Irish, statistically the most redheaded population on Earth, would be the ones settling in the wilds of Kentucky and Virginia during the 18th century.
It was not only the scalp hunters who had to keep up appearances. Contrary to what most people might assume, many victims of scalpings actually survived their attacks. Today we imagine most scalping victims to have been men, but almost half are now thought to have been women or children. Among many tribes, the scalp of a woman or a child was considered a great prize, because it meant that the warrior in question penetrated the village of his enemy, which took increased skill. Those who survived such a brutal encounter often found that their facial features would droop, so women took up the practice of tying their remaining hair in particularly tight braids to support their faces.
