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.

James Fenimore Cooper (1789–1851) invented the key forms of American fiction—the Western, the sea tale, the Revolutionary War romance. Furthermore, Cooper turned novel writing from a polite diversion into a paying career. He influenced Herman Melville, Richard Henry Dana, Jr., Francis Parkman, and even Mark Twain—who felt the need to flagellate Cooper for his “literary offenses.” His novels mark the starting point for any history of our environmental conscience. Far from complicit in the cleansings of Native Americans that characterized the era, Cooper’s fictions traced native losses to their economic sources. Perhaps no other American writer stands in greater need of a major reevaluation than Cooper. This is the first treatment of Cooper’s life to be based on full access to his family papers. Cooper’s life, as Franklin relates it, is the story of how, in literature and countless other endeavors, Americans in his period sought to solidify their political and cultural economic independence from Britain and, as the Revolutionary generation died, stipulate what the maturing republic was to become. The first of two volumes, James Fenimore Cooper: The Early Years covers Cooper’s life from his boyhood up to 1826, when, at the age of thirty-six, he left with his wife and five children for Europe.
