- Title
New Hampshire Indians Have Gone but Their Names at Least Remain.
- Abstract
The article discusses place names in New Hampshire that derive from Native American names. The author notes that the New Hampshire towns of Penacook and Ossipee are named after Indian tribes, while Coos County derives from the native name Cowash or Cowass. Several prominent Indians from New Hampshire are examined including Passaconaway, his son Wonolancet, and Samson Occom or Occum, a Mohegan convert to Christianity who attended Dartmouth College. Chocorua, an Ossipee or Pequawket Indian, is also discussed.
