Cooper, James Fenimore, 1789-1851

"The Wept of Wish-Ton-Wish"


Whilst wandering through these melancholy remains of former scenes, a
question was put to the divine concerning the place where Conanchet was
interred. He readily offered to show it. The grave was on the hill, and
distinguished only by a head-stone that the grass had concealed from
former search. It merely bore the words--"the Narragansett."
"And this at its side?" asked the inquirer. "Here is one also,
before unnoted."
The divine bent in the grass, and scraped the moss from the humble
monument. He then pointed to a line, carved with more than usual care. The
inscription simply said--
"THE WEPT OF WISH-TON-WISH."
