Description
James Fenimore Cooper was born on September 15, 1789 in Burlington, New Jersey. In 1820 he published his first book, Precaution, a tale of manners and morals set in England. His next book, The Spy: A Tale of the Neutral Ground, was set in America, and this was to be the setting for the rest of his novels, including the five "Leatherstocking" novels for which he is best known ( The Pioneers, The Last of the Mohicans, The Prairie, The Pathfinder and The Deerslayer ).
Features & Highlights
- The household of Mr Wharton and his daughters is visited by Mr Harper, an American loyalist; Captain Henry Wharton, the son of the house; and Mr Harvey Birch, suspected of being a British spy. The futures of these characters become inextricably linked as they face the perils of the War of Independence, and the sufferings of the human heart.
