"True patriotism consists in laying bare everything like public vice, and in calling such things by their right names. The great enemy of the race has made a deep inroad upon us, within the last ten or a dozen years, under cover of a spurious delicacy on the subject of exposing national ills; and it is time that they who have not been afraid to praise, when praise was merited, should not shrink from the office of censuring, when the want of timely warnings may be one cause of the most fatal evils. The great practical defect of institutions like ours, is the circumstance that 'what is everybody's business, is nobody's business;' a neglect that gives to the activity of the rogue a very dangerous ascendancy over the more dilatory correctives of the honest man." -- From James Fenimore Cooper's Introduction

The Deerslayer is the first of James Fenimore Cooper's Leatherstocking Tales, and it introduces Natty Bumppo, the Deerslayer of the title, and the Mohican Chief Chingachgook.
The Pathfinder (1840), Cooper's most picturesque novel and the fourth of the five Leatherstocking Tales, is a naval story set on the Great Lakes of the 1750s. Fashioned from Cooper's own experience as a midshipman on Lake Ontario in 1808-09, the novel revives Natty Bumpo (who had died in The Prairie), and illuminates Cooper's interest in American history with his concern for social development.
The book is a facsimile reprint of an original antiquarian work, emphasizing its cultural significance. It may exhibit imperfections typical of older texts, including marks and flawed pages. This edition aims to preserve and promote the literature of the past while providing an accessible, high-quality version that remains true to the original.
Having drawn on local knowledge and private information for The Spy and on his own boyhood experiences for The Pioneers, it was inevitable that Cooper would seek a way to convert yet another area of his special knowledge into art. His first choice of career had been the U.S. Navy, in which he served as a midshipman from 1808 to 1810. In 1823, Cooper began writing The Pilot, which he saw as a sea novel that seamen would appreciate for its fidelity and yet one that landsmen could understand. "Cooper's poetic power is reserved for the sea, which is no backdrop but a separate world with forces and laws of its own. The individuation of the ships, particularly the personification of the Ariel, contributes to the magic, but the exhilaration of the book comes from the triumph of human skill and intelligence over the uncertainties and downright hostilities of a world of waves, winds, and hidden reefs. The land offers neither a comparable challenge nor so heady a victory." -- from the Introduction.
The Spy is a Revolutionary War tale featuring Harvey Birch, a British loyalist and spy for George Washington. The plot unfolds in the neutral zone between armies, highlighting heroism and significant historical events. James Fenimore Cooper, a key figure in early American literature, launched his career with this novel, shaping the romance genre.
"1757 - Lake Ontario, North America. A second adventure with the scout Hawk-eye and his friend Chingachgook. Mabel Dunham arrives at the English fort. Three men fall in love with her - an English officer, the captain of a ship and Hawk-eye. Then Mabel hears the terrible news. There are spies in the fort. The French army and their Indian fighters are coming." -- Cover.
