A one--dimensional tight--binding model of electrons with long--range Coulomb interactions is studied in the limit where double site occupancy is forbidden and the Coulomb coupling strength V is large with respect to the hopping amplitude t. The quantum problem of a kink--antikink pair generated in the Wigner lattice (the classical ground state for t=0) is solved for fillings n=1/s, where s is an integer larger than 1. The pair energy becomes negative for a relatively high value of V, Vc/t≈ s³. This signals the initial stage of the quantum melting of the Wigner lattice.
