James Fenimore Cooper (September 15, 1789 – September 14, 1851) was a prolific and popular American writer of the early 19th century. His historical romances of frontier and Native American life in the early American days created a unique form of American literature. Born in Burlington, New Jersey, Cooper grew up in Cooperstown, New York, which was founded by his father, William Cooper. He attended Yale College but was expelled and subsequently joined the U.S. Navy, an experience that deeply influenced his maritime narratives. Cooper's writing career began with 'Precaution' (1820), but it was the success of 'The Spy' (1821) that cemented his reputation as a noteworthy American writer. Cooper is best known for his Leatherstocking Tales, a series of novels that includes 'The Last of the Mohicans' (1826), which remains his most famous work. His command of adventure and his skillful delineation of character have made this series a staple of American literature. In addition to this series, Cooper's seafaring novel 'The Wing-and-Wing; Or, Le Feu-Follet' (1842) further exhibits his talent to captivate audiences with stories of the sea, incorporating naval life and the complexities of the human spirit. Cooper's literary style often interweaves adventure with social and moral commentary, reflecting the tensions and realities of the American frontier and the sea during the 18th and early 19th centuries. Beyond his narrative works, Cooper's work also includes non-fiction, notably his socially critical book 'The American Democrat' (1838) and his travelogue 'Gleanings in Europe' (1837). As both a storyteller and social observer, James Fenimore Cooper holds a distinguished place in American letters.
