81. J.Fenimore Cooper -- Bio And Plot Summary James Fenimore Cooper (1789 1851), the son of a wealthy, landowningJudge William Cooper, was born in Burlington, New Jersey. http://users.efni.com/~kristy/Cooper.htm

James Fenimore Cooper (1789 - 1851), the son of a wealthy, landowning Judge William Cooper, was born in Burlington, New Jersey. The year after his birth, the family moved to Cooperstown, New York, a frontier settlement founded by Judge Cooper near Otsego Lake. Sent to Yale at thirteen, Cooper was expelled in his third year and was sent to sea, partly in the merchant marine, and then as a midshipman in the US navy. In 1811, he married Susan DeLancey and settled down as a gentleman farmer. The first of Cooper's fifty-odd books, Precaution (1820), was a failure, but his second, The Spy (1821), was a patriotic story of the American Revolution and was an immediate success. He and his wife lived abroad from 1826 - 1833, and during this time he vigorously defended American democracy in his writings, but on his return to the United States he was so disgusted by what he saw as the tyranny of the majority, or even mob rule, he acquired conservative and aristocratic views which made him unpopular as a social commentator. However, his Leatherstocking Tales , which breathe the sombre poetry of solitude and danger have secured his place among the great writers of the English language.

There, amid the various Indian tribal conflicts, a small party set out from the British Fort Edward toward Fort William Henry, defended by the Scottish veteran, Colonel Munro. Major Duncan Heyward, ordered to escort Colonel Munro's two daughters, Cora and Alice, to Fort William Henry, was followed by a tall, awkward, psalm singing missionary, David Gamut. Fort Edward's troops were in a weakened state. Now Major Heyward, in an attempt to reach Munro's fort before the French forces led by Montcalm could surround it, hired a renegade Huron Indian guide known as Magua, who claimed to know of a shorter route to their destination. But now, after traveling most of the day and finding themselves still only a few miles from Fort Edward, they at last decided the guide must be lost.

James Fenimore Cooper Biography Cooper was raised near Otsego Lake in central New York, where his father owned a large property known as Cooperstown at the age of twenty he inherited his father's fortune and married Susan De Lancy. Soon to become America's first successful novelist, Cooper wrote his first book in 1820 to prove to his wife that he could write a better novel than one they had been reading together. Though not an auspicious start, this novel, Precaution , was followed by The Spy (1821) and then by his breakthrough novel The Pioneers (1823), the first of five Natty Bumppo books known as the Leather-Stocking Tales . The popularity of the Leather-Stocking Tales all historical romances set in America gave Cooper the epithet "The American Scott," and Natty Bumppo, the aged hunter, would become an icon in American literature and culture. The other Leather-Stocking Tales are Last of the Mohicans The Prairie The Pathfinder (1840), and The Deerslayer Explorations When Cooper is referred to (or written off) as "the American Scott," the phrase usually refers to Cooper's romantic and epic adventure stories about Hawkeye (Natty Bumppo) and Chingachgook, his Mohegan friend and companion. These novels do have much in common with Walter Scott's tales of Ivanhoe Rob Roy , and other heroes of a bygone England and Scotland. But the stories of Natty did not begin as tales of derring-do.

James Fenimore Cooper biographical sketch: James Cooper, the 12th of 13 children (6 surviving) of William Cooper and Elizabeth Fenimore Cooper, born in Burlington NJ ("Fenimore" was only added in 1826). William Cooper, a Quaker, was a prominent Federalist politician in New York, a substantial landowner, congressman, and judge. The Cooper family moves to Cooperstown, on Lake Otsego in upstate New York, where William Cooper had acquired large tracts of land. JC enrolled at Yale College (New Haven CT). JC expelled from Yale College. He wants to run away to sea, but the father intervenes and secures him a commission in the U.S. Navy. JC resigns from the Navy and marries Susan De Lancey (who is also of an upper-class background). After the death of the father (1809) and the War of 1812, the family fortune was greatly reduced; ill management and the death of elder brothers bring increasing burdens. By 1820, JC was casting about for a reliable source of income and began to write fiction. (JC manages to regain the family estate later in his life.)

The Deerslayer Books (First Lines) In the midst of the awful stillness with which such a burst of feeling, coming as it did, from the two most renowned warriors of that region, was received, Tamenund lifted his voice to disperse the multitude. "It is enough", he said. "Go, children of the Lenape, the anger of the Manitou is not done. Why should Tamenund stay? The pale faces are masters of the earth, and the time of the red men has not yet come again. My day has been too long. In the morning I esaw the sons of Unamis happy and strong; and yet, before the has come, have I lived to see the last warrior of the wise race of the Mohicans". The Last of the Mohicans Books (Last Lines) It was a feature peculiar to the colonial wars of North America, that the toils and dangers of the wilderness were to be encountered before the adverse hosts could meet. A wide and apparently an impervious boundary of forests severed the possessions of the hostile provinces of France and England. The hardy colonist, and the trained European who fought at his side, frequently expended months in struggling against the rapids of the streams, or in effecting the rugged passes of the mountains, in quest of an opportunity to exhibit their courage in a more martial conflict.

Werben Sie hier um Ihre Online-Zielgruppe. werbung@onlinereports.ch Meine Meinung zu dieser Story Meine Meinung zu OnlineReports Der Mehrheits-Herrschaft abgeneigt: "Lederstrumpf"-Autor James Fenimore Cooper Auf den Spuren von "Lederstrumpf"-Autor James Cooper Ein neues Buch über den "Lederstrumpf"-Autor, seine Schweiz-Erlebnisse, seine Vorstellungen von Demokratie und Amerika VON A UREL S ... CHMIDT Red. In zahlreichen Schweizer Buchgestellen dürfte ein dicker Wälzer noch immer seinen Stammplatz haben: Der Indianer-Schmöker "Lederstrumpf". Sein Verfasser ist der Amerikaner James Fenimore Cooper, der, was viele nicht wissen, zweimal auch die Schweiz bereist und hier bewegende Naturerlebnisse erfahren hatte. OnlineReports-Autor Aurel Schmidt hat nach Coopers Spuren geforscht und legt nun ein über 300-seitiges Cooper-Buch vor. Der "Lederstrumpf" ist ein bekanntes Buch, das bei vielen Menschen, die es in ihrer Jugend gelesen haben, einen bleibenden Eindruck hinterlassen hat. Geht man aber der Sache etwas nach, wird man bald feststellen, dass es sich dabei meistens um eine verstümmelte Version handelt. James Fenimore Cooper (1789-1851), der Verfasser der fünf Romane, die unter dem Titel "Der Lederstrumpf" erschienen sind, hat darin ein Kapitel der amerikanischen Pioniergeschichte festgehalten. In der weitherum verbreiteten Kinderbuchfassung ist davon freilich nicht viel übrig geblieben.
