About this book
The book bears the name "JAMES FENIMORE COOPER. By THOMAS R. LOUNSBURY". The prefatory note says "When Cooper lay on his death-bed he enjoined his family to permit no authorized account of his life to be prepared." The text records that "On the 1st of January, 1811, the couple were married at Mamaroneck, Westchester County, New York."
The text says that his kinsmen by marriage "had belonged to the defeated party in the Revolutionary struggle" and that this "led Cooper in his writings to treat the Tories, as they were called, with a fairness and generosity which in that day few were disposed to show, at least in print." The text notes that "With the exception of No. 45 and of No. 67, all his tales were originally published in two volumes in America."
