Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode-Island were inhabited by four great Indian nations. The Europeans brought their own ideas of government to the area and assumed the chiefs inherited their titles and therefore were kings. The Wept of Wish-ton-Wish is one of Fenimore Cooper's characteristic romances of the Native American wars. It is set in the time of the Puritan colonies of the late seventeenth century.
