Scope and Contents

From the Collection: The John A. Stone papers (1828) consist of a five-act play (fourth act missing) by Stone (1801-1834), titled Metamora, the Last of the Wampanoags: An Indian Tragedy in Five Acts. The play presents a history of Metamora, a ficticious king of the Wampanoag Indians. Apparently, it is considered one of the most important "lost" plays of American drama. The manuscript was found by George D. Pyper, manager of the Salt Lake Theater from 1898 to 1928.
