To Commemorate the Discovery of Cohasset in 1614 By Captain John Smith, President of Virginia and Admiral of New England. We found the People in those Parts very Kinde. But in their fury no lesse Valiant and at quonahasit falling out there with one of them He with three others crossed the Harbour in a Canow to Certaine Rockes whereby we must Passe. And there they let flie their arrowes for our shot Till we were out of danger, yet one of them was slaine and another shot through his thigh. From his Generall Historie Erected By the Town -- 1914
