The Wept Of Wish Ton-Wish

Bag om The Wept Of Wish Ton-Wish

The Wept of Wish Ton-Wish is a novel written by James Fenimore Cooper. The story is set in the 17th century in the Connecticut River Valley, during a time when the Native American tribes were being pushed out of their lands by the colonizers. The main character of the novel is a Native American chief named Magua, who is seeking revenge against the white man for the injustices that have been done to his people. The plot follows Magua as he tries to incite a war between the Native American tribes and the colonizers. He does this by manipulating the emotions of a young Native American girl named Wah-ta-Wah, who is in love with a white man named Jasper Western. Magua convinces Wah-ta-Wah to betray her people and help him start a war. The novel explores themes of love, betrayal, and the clash of cultures between the Native Americans and the colonizers. Cooper's writing style is known for its vivid descriptions of the natural landscape and his ability to create complex characters. The Wept of Wish Ton-Wish is considered one of Cooper's lesser-known works, but it still showcases his talent as a writer and his interest in exploring the relationship between different cultures.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. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
