Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Correspondence of James Fenimore-Cooper, Vol. 2 Dear Sir: Though not my good fortune to know you personally, I can be no stranger to your well-deserved fame, and I should be ashamed of taking my pen at so late a day as this to return you my share of the public thanks for your admirable naval history, the approbation of it at home having already been universal and abroad too, as far as I have seen, but that accidental hindrances prevented my reading it until very lately. Devoted to our navy, I had myself during the war of 1812, when a young and humble member of Mr, Madison's administration, collected some materials for sketches of its brilliant career at that epoch, which I rejoice to think I never used; for you have brought to that part of its history, and all other parts, qualifications so immeasurably in advance of any one else that all will have been instructed by you, as well as delighted. You have told us all that any other pen could, and much, much more. You have shown all our naval glory in its best lights, yet been just to our great opponent on the ocean; your narratives are distinct and graphic, often enchanting; and your reflections scattered throughout the work such as add dignity and value to it - meriting in many instances the careful consideration of our Legislators and Statesmen, You have given to your country a work greatly wanted; one that from its entire execution as well as matter must become standard, and that will be even more valuable ages hence than now, as you have embalmed much of what would otherwise soon have perished.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Correspondence of James Fenimore-Cooper, Vol. 1 Shortly before his death, While sitting on a sofa beside his eldest child, Susan Augusta, he said to her that he wished his family not to authorize the publication Of any biography. There was even then a difference of opinion in the family as to the extent of the prohibition intended; some members believing that it was only a temporary one prompted by the bitterness still felt toward Cooper by much of the press of the country on account of his libel suits. Acting upon the other theory, however, his eldest daughter, before she died, destroyed a great deal of the material which could have been used in the preparation of a biography, and had buried with her the most interesting of his Journals. To-day no one could write a satisfactory life of Cooper; it, would necessarily be limited to a bare state ment of facts, most of which already have been published in one of the existing accounts of his life.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of James Fenimore Cooper: The Sea Lions The physical marvels of the universe produce little more re ection than the profoundest moral truths. A million of eyes shall pass over the firm ament, on a cloudless night, and not a hundred minds shall be filled with a proper sense of the power of the dread Being that created all that is there - not a hundred hearts glow with the adoration that such an appeal to the senses and understanding ought naturally to produce. This indifference, in a great measure, comes of familiarity the things that we so constantly have before us, becoming as a part of the air we breathe, and as little regarded.

Download or read book James Fenimore Cooper Sea Tales LOA 54 written by James Fenimore Cooper and published by Library of America. This book was released on 1991-08-01 with total page 942 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Pilot (1824) and The Red Rover (1828), James Fenimore Cooper invented a new literary genre: the sea novel. Collected here in a single Library of America volume, they are among his finest works. Bold, vigorous, original, each is a tale of high adventure that vividly captures the majesty and power of the seafaring life. Cooper drew on his direct knowledge of ships and sailors to present a truer picture of life on the sea than had ever before achieved in literature. As a boy of seventeen he had sailed before the mast on a merchantman bound from New York to London and then to Spain. On board he experienced the life of a common seaman, learned the craft of sailing, encountered terrifying storms, was chased by pirates, and watched the impressment of crew members by a British man-of-war. He later served as an officer in the United States Navy. The Pilot is loosely based upon stories of John Paul Jones’s daring hit-and-run tactics during the Revolutionary War. The shadowy hero, modeled on Jones, leads a squadron of the infant American navy in a series of raids on the English coast, braving fierce storms and the guns of hostile warships, yet never revealing his identity. In this novel Cooper introduced the character of the “old salt,” the seasoned deckhand happy only aboard ship. Long Tom Coffin, with his briny conversation and shrewd nautical advice, is the first of Cooper’s memorable portraits of common seaman. A ghostly ship, an uncanny hero, a heroine kidnapped by pirates, revelations of mistaken identity, and the reunion of long-lost relatives—scenes of romance and adventure fill the pages of The Red Rover, Cooper’s most theatrical novel. Set in the mid-eighteenth century, the tale recounts the exploits of a noble outcast and visionary who foresees America’s destiny as a sovereign nation. Forced into a life of piracy, the Rover conducts his private war of independence in a story that equates the free and daring life with the American dream of self-reliance and liberty from British rule.

Download or read book The American Historical Novel on American Themes Before 1860 written by Ernest Erwin Leisy and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Historical Novel (on American Themes) Before 1860: The Early Novels of James Fenimore Cooper (1821-1831) James Fenimore Cooper - so the popular legend runs-was a man who wrote stories about idealized Indians and the wilder ness, now read mainly by boys; who created Leatherstocking, the man without a cross; and who spent an irascible old age win ning petty lawsuits. Further reflection may call to mind that he was enamored of the sea as well as of the wilderness, and that one of his stories had something to do with a spy. All this, of course, is true; but that Cooper did much more than this, has been dis covered comparatively recently. The explanation is to be found, in part, in the fact that after Cooper's death in 1851, the vogue of his type of romance having passed also, his popularity suffered a decline reaching its lowest ebb between 1870 and 1880. Another reason is that the novelist's dying injunction that no biography be authorized was carried out so literally by his oldest daughter and literary executrix that many family papers of value were destroyed. She afterwards published in the fltlom'z'c Monthly for 1887 two reminiscent articles about her father, but these are rambling and uninformative in character. In - thirty years after the death of the novelist - Professor Lounsbury succeeded surprisingly well in piecing together the outward facts of Cooper's life.1 The, Correspondence of Cooper, just published,2 reveals little about the workmanship or about the personality of the/novelist, except by way of emphasizing the fact that his social' and political ideas meant more to him than his art. Cooper's own introductions, added to his works in 1849, the articles by his daughter, and the results of Lounsbury must suflice for the external evidence on Cooper's work; whatever conclusions are reached on internal evi dence may be modified when materials still in the possession Of the Cooper family are given up to the public.
