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 Indian life in the early American days created a unique form of American literature. He lived most of his life in Cooperstown, New York, which was founded by his father William on property he owned. Cooper was a lifelong member of the Episcopal Church and in his later years contributed generously to it. He attended Yale University for three years, where he was a member of the Linonian Society, but was expelled for misbehavior. Before embarking on his career as a writer he served in the U.S. Navy as a Midshipman, which greatly influenced many of his novels and other writings. The novel that launched his career was The Spy, a tale about counterespionage set during the Revolutionary War and published in 1821. He also wrote numerous sea stories and his best known works are five historical novels of the frontier period known as the Leatherstocking Tales. Among naval historians Cooper’s works on the early U.S. Navy have been well received, but they were sometimes criticized by his contemporaries. Among his most famous works is the Romantic novel The Last of the Mohicans, often regarded as his masterpiece.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Two good yarns providing insight into mind of a young, experimenting novelist By T. Patrick Killough In his first novel, PRECAUTION (1820)Precaution, young James Fenimore Cooper (1779 - 1851) wrote about English high society and the strategies used by three families for marrying off sons and daughters against the vague backdrop of the wars with Napoleon.Three years later Cooper published two short tales of Manhattan society just after the War of 1812."Imagination" is about the imagination-drenched crush one teen age girl has on another. For lack of money Anna's family has to move to Western New York, leaving Julia behind in glitzy Manhattan to pine for her friend. Through constantly re-reading a series of letters from the faraway Genesee country, Julia builds up Anna into a paragon of virtue, which Anna most definitely is not. Anna schemes to wangle an invitation from Julia's aunt to spend the boring winter sure to come back in Manhattan. She also dangles before Julia the image of a young man said to be enraptured by Anna's descriptions of her distant friend. Julia's aunt finally brings Julia down to reality and to earth. Imagination has its place, but experience is the best teacher of what people are really like."Heart" is about two young women and two young men well placed in Manhattan society. Quiet, high-minded Charlotte Henly is deeply but silently in love with sickly, noble George Morton. One cold day a man falls in a fit on an icy New York street. No one lifts a finger to help him except young Morton. In giving up his coat, Morton precipitates a final descent into mortal illness. One of Manhattan's richest, most eligible bachelors, Seymour Delafield, a bystander, notices George's charitable intervention with the afflicted man but does not lift a finger to help. Charlotte Henly and her friend Maria Osgood also witness young Morton's "Good Samaritan" deed. Maria makes light of it. From time to time Seymour wonders why he didn't help the fallen epileptic but that is as far as his self-assessment goes.Seymour is instantly smitten by Charlotte and is resolved to make her his wife. Like all the other debutantes and unmarried young women in Manhattan -- except Charlotte -- Maria too sets her own cap for Seymour. Will Seymour win Charlotte? Will Charlotte ever tell George she loves him (and vice versa)? Will Maria wed Seymour? Will huge wealth, good breeding and impeccable manners inevitably win a sensible but gorgeous young woman away from her true love?"Imagination" and "Heart" are not in the same league as the best short stories of O'Henry and Poe. They are worth reading and pondering for their own sake, admittedly. But they attract 21st Century readers mainly as windows into the mind of young James Cooper (he would add "Fenimore" three years later). Both his first novel, PRECAUTION, and these two longish short stories (or, perhaps, short novelettes) are conscious imitations of the didactic, advice to the lovelorn novels of English novelist Amelia Opie (1769-1853), author of THE FATHER AND DAUGHTER The Father and Daughter with Dangers of Coquetry. In these three tales, Cooper makes himself think and talk like women: wiser, more detached women working for the happiness and morality of younger charges. Cooper does this role assumption well. He even issued TALES FOR FIFTEEN as the product of a fictitious "Jane Morgan."Cooper's empathy for people very much unlike himself will show itself in later works in his uniquely sympathetic presentation of American Indians (in THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS and other LEATHERSTOCKING Classic American Fiction: Cooper's Leatherstocking Tales, all 5 Natty Bumppo novels in one file, with active table of contents novels.So read James Cooper's TALES FOR FIFTEEN (meaning 15-year old girls and boys) not only for themselves but for understanding their author not long before he became world famous. -OOO-
