HISTORY OF COH ASSET. 



Perhaps the most distinguished was Daniel Webster, 

 who used to enjoy cooting and fishing off the Cohasset 

 rocks. A memorial of him has been carved by nature 

 in one of the granite rocks of our shore in easy view of 

 which he often must have passed, without realizing the 

 remarkable resemblance between the outline of the rock 

 and the profile of his own face.
