INCAS: - A Mohegan (not Mohican) chief who married the daughter of Sassacus, chief of the Pequot. His rivalry with his father-in-law is said to have finally divided the nation into the Mohegan & Pequot. Making a strategic alliance with the colonists, he made war against the Narragansett and the Massachusetts Indians during King Philip's War. He died about 1682, but his male descendants remained leaders of the Mohegan community until the early 19th century; - today some Mohegans still claim his ancestry. A monument erected to Uncas in Norwich, Connecticut, was visited by Buffalo Bill Cody and 100 mounted Sioux in July 1907.
.
The name was immortalized by James Fenimore Cooper in his novel "Last Of The Mohicans", - but this is set much later than the lifetime of the historical Uncas, - during the French & Indian War, and confuses the Mohican (Mahican) of the Hudson Valley with the Mohegan/Pequot in what is Connecticut.
