The Wept of Wish Ton-Wish

The Wept of Wish Ton-Wish is a novel written by James Fenimore Cooper. It is set in the 17th century and tells the story of a Native American tribe called the Mohegans who are being threatened by encroaching white settlers. The main character is a Mohegan chief named Magua, who is torn between his loyalty to his tribe and his desire for revenge against the white men who have wronged him. The story is also about the relationship between Magua and a white woman named Alice, who is captured by the Mohegans and becomes a pawn in their conflict with the settlers. The novel explores themes of race, identity, and the clash of cultures between Native Americans and Europeans. It is a powerful and thought-provoking work of historical fiction that remains relevant today.With this admonition to be wary of a danger that he had so recently affected to despise, Content departed on his errand. The two laborers he had mentioned by name, were youths of mould and strength, and they were well inured to toil, no less than to the particular privations and dangers of a border life. Like most men of their years and condition, they were practised too in the wiles of Indian cunning; and though the Province of Connecticut, compared to other settlements, had suffered but little in this species of murderous warfare.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
