James Cooper

Between 1819 and 1826, Cooper published his first five novels: Precaution, The Spy, The Pioneers, The Pilot, and The Last of the Mohicans. These books, more or less, set the tone and the scene for many other American novels to be written in the future: the time and territory of colonial and revolutionary America, the sea, and the frontier.

Seven years later in 1833, Cooper sailed back to America and settled down in Cooperstown. It was here that he died on September 14, 1851, the author of more than eighteen novels, including the Leather-Stocking Tales, and The History of the Navy of the United States of America.
