James Fenimore Cooper (September 15, 1789September 14, 1851) was an American writer of the first half of the 19th century, whose historical romances depicting colonial and indigenous characters from the 17th to the 19th centuries brought him fame and fortune. He lived much of his boyhood and his last 15 years in Cooperstown, New York, which was founded by his father William Cooper on property that he owned. He attended Yale University for three years, where he was a member of the Linonian Society. Cooper served in the U.S. Navy as a midshipman, where he learned the technology of managing sailing vessels, which greatly influenced many of his novels and other writings. The novel that launched his career was The Spy, a tale about espionage set during the American Revolutionary War and published in 1821. He also created American sea stories. His best-known works are five historical novels of the frontier period, written between 1823 and 1841, known as the Leatherstocking Tales, which introduced the iconic American frontier scout, Natty Bumppo. Cooper's works on the U.S. Navy have been well received among naval historians. The Last of the Mohicans is often regarded as his masterpiece. During his career, he published numerous social, political, and historical works of fiction and nonfiction, with the objective of countering European prejudices and nurturing an original American art and culture. The Deerslayer, or The First War-Path was James Fenimore Cooper's fifth and last novel published in 1841 in his Leatherstocking Tales. Its 17401745 time period makes it the first installment chronologically and in the lifetime of the hero of the Leatherstocking tales, Natty Bumppo. The novel's setting on Otsego Lake in central, upstate New York, is the same as that of The Pioneers, the first of the Leatherstocking Tales to be published (1823). The Deerslayer is considered to be the prequel to the rest of the series. Fenimore Cooper begins his work by relating the astonishing advance of civilization in New York State, which is the setting of four of his five Leatherstocking Tales. This novel introduces Natty Bumppo as "Deerslayer," a young frontiersman in early 18th-century New York, who objects to the practice of taking scalps, on the grounds that every living thing should follow "the gifts" of its nature, which would keep European Americans from taking scalps. Two characters who actually seek to take scalps are Deerslayer's foil Henry March (alias "Hurry Harry") and the former pirate 'Floating Tom' Hutter, to whom Deerslayer is introduced en route to a rendezvous with the latter's lifelong friend Chingachgook (who first appeared as "Indian John" in The Pioneers). Shortly before the rendezvous, Hutter's residence is besieged by the Hurons, and Hutter and March sneak into the camp of the besiegers to kill and scalp as many as they can, but they are captured in the act, and later ransomed by Bumppo, Chingachgook, and Hutter's daughters Judith and Hetty. Bumppo and Chingachgook thereafter plan to rescue Chingachgook's kidnapped betrothed Wah-ta-Wah (alias 'Hist') from the Hurons, but while rescuing her, Bumppo is captured. In his absence, the Hurons attack Hutter's home, and Hutter is scalped alive. On his deathbed, he confesses that Judith and Hetty were not his daughters by birth, and Judith determines to discover her natural father's identity, but her search reveals only that her late mother had been of aristocratic descent, and had married 'Floating Tom' after the collapse of an illicit affair. Later, Judith attempts and fails to rescue Deerslayer from the Hurons. They are all saved at last when March returns with British troops, who ambush the Hurons and kill most of them; Hetty is mortally wounded in the confusion. After Hetty's death, Judith proposes marriage to Deerslayer, but is refused, and is last described as the paramour of a soldier. Fifteen years later, Bumppo and Chingachgook return to the site to find Hutter's house in ruins. In Carl Van Doren's view, the book is essentially a romance, at the same time considerably realistic. The dialect is careful, the wordcraft generally sound. The movement is rapid, the incidents varied, and the piece as a whole absorbing. The reality of the piece comes chiefly from the reasoned presentation of the central issue: the conflict in Leather-Stocking between the forces which draw him to the woods and those which seek to attach him to his human kind. Van Doren calls Judith Hutter one of the few convincing young women in Cooper's works; of the minor characters only the ardent young Chingachgook and the silly Hetty Hutter call for his notice. D. H. Lawrence called The Deerslayer "one of the most beautiful and perfect books in the world: flawless as a jewel and of gem-like concentration. In 1878 Mr. Lovell came to New York City and entered upon his publishing career, soon achieving success. He had an office for many years at 14 Vesey Street. In 1882 he formed the John W. Lovell Company, of which he was president. He founded Lovell's Library, which published millions of copies of works by such authors as Cooper, Ruskin, Dickens, Thackeray, Shakespeare and Carlyle. Mr. Lovell had the distinction of being the first American publisher of Kipling and Barrie. Among other noted authors whose work be published were Mrs. Humphry Ward, Ouida, and H. Rider Haggard. In his heyday he estimated that he was selling 7,000,000 copies of books yearly. It was not unusual for him to have more than 4,000 titles on hand. Gradually Mr. Lovell's interests expanded, He founded or help found a number of subsidiary firms, which finally, in 1889, was absorbed into the United States Book Company, which he served as vice president and also as president. Among the subsidiary concerns were the.…

Gesamthaft gute Exemplare. - - Published without a subtitle or series title - Apparently a rare edition of the Leatherstocking Tales, which is hardly verifiable as such, and possibly the first and only edition of the series published by Crowell, only produced in this elaborately designed and probably only small edition - The whole series of 5 vol. digit. in Hathi Trust; for details see WorldCat - Cf. Jisc also just for 4 vol. (incl. The last of the Mohicans, but without The Deerslayer) - The illustrations are probably based on watercolors or ink brush drawings by Frank T. [Thayer] Merrill (Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts 1848-1936 ibid.). "Early in his career he worked on the comic newspaper-magazine Punchinello [.]. Merrill's commission as principal illustrator for The Prince and the Pauper marked the beginning of an impressive career as illustrator" (Images of America, in: Potsdam Public Museum [NY], 2004, p. 383; cf. horatioalgersociety net/newsboys/newsboys2010-2019/nb10-6corrected.pdf). -- The "Leatherstocking Tales present a saga of 18th-century life among Native Americans and white pioneers on the New York State frontier. The novels feature Natty Bumppo, the ideal North American frontiersman, variously known as Leatherstocking, Hawkeye, the Deerslayer, and the Pathfinder. The books cover his entire adult life, from young manhood to old age, though they were not written or published in chronological order. The individual novels are The Pioneers (1823), The Last of the Mohicans (1826), The Prairie (1827), The Pathfinder (1840), and The Deerslayer (1841)" (kids.britannica com) - Cf. jfcoopersociety org : 1. 1823 The Pioneers, or, The Sources of the Susquehanna (the fourth of the five Tales in relation to plot, the first in order of composition [4/1]): 1793-94: Early life in Cooperstown (Templeton); Bumppo's first appearance; first American frontier and environmental novel (ibid: Checklist of Cooper's Works). Bumppo, "An illiterate white man, he was adopted in youth by the Delawares and becomes sworn 'brother' of Chingachgook. An unselfish man, he spends his life in service to others" (ibid., Characters in the Fiction; cf. mohicanpress com/mo06058: 'known by his Indian name of Hawkeye', cf. -mo06032) - 2. 1827 The Prairie (5/3): "we find Hawkeye removed to the uncharted territory which would become Wyoming and the Dakotas. [.] Leatherstocking is now in his eighties and has isolated himself in the land of the Pawnee, the Sioux and countless herds of buffalo. [.] The Prairie brings the old hunter full circle with images of his youth and reminiscences of the remarkable life" (mo06058) - 3. 1840 The Pathfinder, or, The Inland Sea (3/4): "devoted to a love story for Hawkeye. Cooper, fascinated with the use of ships to wage war on the Great Lakes, moves the scene of the action to Fort Oswego, Lake Ontario and the Thousand Islands at the mouth of the St. Lawrence River" (etc.; mo06058) - 4. 1841 The Deerslayer, or, The First Warpath (1/5): "takes place on Otsego Lake, the current site of Cooperstown, New York. Set in 1743 [.], the story brings the young hunter, Nathaniel Bumppo, and his Delaware brother, Chingachgook, to the lake to rescue Chingachgook's bride-to-be from a Iroquois war party. They enlist themselves in a bloody battle to protect a family of settlers from the Iroquois" (etc.; mo0605) -- "The set of five historical novels [.] is a complex and adventure-packed trip into the lush and unpredictable wilderness of 18th Century America. The thread which ties the five books together is the life story of a rugged and untamable hunter, Indian fighter and American scout for the British military. Each book [.] showcases a different phase of the myriad struggles to settle and control this vast and resource-rich land." (mo06058) - Resp. "Reflected in the series are Cooper's views on the importance of individual freedom in society. Considered classics of American literature, the Leatherstocking Tales set the pace for future writers of western and frontier stories" (etc.; NLS Minibibliographies, in: Library of Congress). -- Coopers Thema war "die grosse, vom Zivilisationsverderben unversehrte Natur seines Landes, und zu dieser gehörten die Indianer. Das Romantische zeigt sich bei ihm in seinen grossartigen Landschaftsschilderungen [.], sowie die Charakterisierung seines Wildtöters [.]. [.] Die Figur, die die fünf Romane zusammenhält, ist eben Lederstrumpf [. .oder] Falkenauge wegen seiner unübertrefflichen Jägeraugen. [.]. Falkenauge wurde von den Indianern, ganz gleich ob Freund oder Feind, als ihresgleichen betrachtet, und auch er sah im Indianer den gleichgearteten Menschen, und in der naturgegebenen Lebensweise der grossen Wälder sein Paradies, ein Paradies, das zu Coopers Zeiten im Begriff war, verlorenzugehen, und das er [.] auf recht romantische Weise verewigte."
