The Wept of Wish Ton-Wish is a historical novel written by James Fenimore Cooper. The story is set in the 17th century in the colonial era of America. The novel revolves around the conflict between the Native American tribes and the English settlers who are trying to colonize the land. The main character of the novel is a young Native American woman named Awanux, who is the daughter of the chief of the Pequots tribe. She falls in love with an Englishman named Mark Heathcote, who is a trader and a friend of her father. However, their love is forbidden by their respective cultures and leads to a tragic end.The novel explores themes of cultural clashes, forbidden love, and the consequences of colonization. It also sheds light on the complexities of the relationships between the Native American tribes and the English settlers. Cooper’s writing style is known for its vivid descriptions of the natural landscapes and the characters’ emotions. The Wept of Wish Ton-Wish is a poignant and thought-provoking novel that offers a glimpse into the early history of America.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.
