Excerpt from A Retrospect From the Round Tower of the Pomham Club
Sachems of the Narrowga?cets; if he is slain, the glory of that nation is sunk with him into the'same pit. Another chroni cler writes ofhim, he was one ofthe stout est and most valiant of the Sachems, and still another, he was the most warlike and the best soldier of all the Narragansets. Shot, as here related, he withdrew him self into the bush to die. A wandering Englishman drew unconsciously near the dying chief, who, possessed as he was of immense muscular strength, instantly at tacked, and but for assistance, would have slain another of his enemies. Thus died Pomham on the. 27th of July, 1676, and from this tower, his home it was that I saw burning two hundred years ago.
