James Fenimore Cooper Activities This link leads to artifacts, teaching tips and discussion questions for this author. At the height of his fame in the early nineteenth century, James Fenimore Cooper was America's foremost novelist and one of the most successful writers in the world. Judgments on his stature as a novelist have been less generous since that time, but few would dispute the cultural significance of his innovative tales. Building on the example of the British novelist Sir Walter Scott, Cooper wrote the first American historical novels and in the process made subjects such as Native Americans, the western wilderness, and the democratic political system compelling and popular topics for fiction. Cooper was raised in Cooperstown, the village his father founded in the forests of upstate New York. His third novel

James Fenimore Cooper, (1789-1851) JFC was born James Cooper on September 15, 1789 in Burlington, New Jersey. (The "Fenimore" was legally added only in 1826.) His parents, William Cooper and Elizabeth Fenimore Cooper, were both Quakers, though they drifted into a generalized Protestantism, attending Episcopal and Presbyterian services. JFC was the twelfth of thirteen children, of which only four brothers and two sisters also survived childhood. In 1790 the family moved to Lake Otsego, in upstate New York, where William Cooper had purchased a large tract of land and founded a settlement he called Cooperstown. There he served as a Federalist judge and local squire, with large political and social ambitions. Early experiences in a frontier town gave JFC the background for The Pioneers (1823), among other frontier novels. In 1800 JFC's beloved older sister, Hannah, was killed at 23 in a fall from a horse. After boarding for schooling in Albany, JFC attended Yale College 1803-1805 but was expelled, apparently for a dangerous prank involving blowing up another student's door. In 1806 he tried to run away to sea, but his father intervened and got him a commission in the United States Navy. He sailed twice to England and served at a frontier outpost on Lake Ontario before being assigned to recruit sailors in New York City, where he met William Branford Shubrick, a career naval officer who became JFC's closest life-long friend. In 1810, JFC met Susan Augusta De Lancey, daughter of a wealthy Westchester family that had been Loyalist during the Revolution. JFC resigned his commission to marry Susan; the wedding was New Year's Day, 1811.

Biography of James Fenimore Cooper (1789-1851) Life Works James Fenimore Cooper was born on September 15, 1789 in Burlington, New Jersey, the eleventh of twelve children. When he was one year old, he moved with parents William and Elizabeth to Cooperstown on Ostego Lake in central New York. During Cooper's boyhood, there were few backwoods settlers left and even fewer Indians. However, Cooper's early experiences in this frontier town gave him the background knowledge used in the Pioneers After boarding school in Albany, Cooper attended Yale College from 1803 - 1805 but was expelled. Apparently his expulsion stemmed from a dangerous prank that involved him blowing up another student's door. There Cooper acquired his lifelong distaste for New Englanders. In 1806, he became a sailor and then a midshipman in the Navy. At twenty, he inherited a fortune from his father and married Susan Augusta De Lancey, the daughter of a wealthy family that had remained Loyalist during the Revolution. Cooper married De Lancey New Years Day, 1811 and for two years he led the life of a country gentleman. When all five of his older brothers died, leaving widows and children behind, Fenimore began searching for work and wealth. In 1820, Cooper's wife bet him that he could write a book better than the one she was reading. What followed was

Cooper's Indians Cooper has long been hailed by literary critics as creating one of the most enduring images of the Native American in American literature. In The Indian in American Literature , Albert Keiser states that "the writer who more than anyone else impressed his conception of the Indian upon America and the world at large is James Fenimore Cooper (1789-1851), in eleven of whose books the red man plays a prominent part" (101). These eleven books are the five Leatherstocking Tales The Chainbearer The Oak Openings The Redskins Satanstoe The Wept of Wish-ton-wish , and Wyandotte While Cooper's Indians undeniably made an important impact on American fiction, they have been the subject of much literary debate. The most common charge leveled against Cooper is that the Indians did not resemble any that could be found in life; simply, they were wildly unrealistic. Indeed, Cooper did not have much first-hand knowledge of American Indians. In Savagism and Civilization , Roy Pearce states, "Cooper was interested in the Indian not for his own sake but for the sake of his relationship to the civilized men who were destroying him. So far as we can tell, Cooper had little personal contact with Indians. Rather, he read widely in the best authorities on individual tribes; in particular, we know that he read of the Delawares in Heckewelder and of the Plains Indians in Biddle's account of the expedition of Lewis and Clark..." (200). In fact, Cooper told his friend Sir Charles Augustus Murray, "I never was among the Indians. All I know of them is from reading, and from hearing my father speak of them" (qtd. in Pearce 200)

JAMES FENIMORE COOPER American author (1789-1851) Biography: James Fenimore Cooper was born in Burlington in 1789 and grew in Cooperstown Colony, founded by his father. His stories on Indian people are set in this area that his father, William Cooper, colonized. He was discovered as a talented writer after reading one tale that he disregarded. But his first novel Precaution (1820) went unnoticed. It was in 1821 that he became successful, not only in America but also in Europe, for his novel The Spy Natty Bumpper, also called "Leatherstocking" by the settlers and "Hawkeye","Deerslayer" and "Pathfinder" by his Indian friends, has become the main character of five novels in Leather Stocking Novels (1823-1841), which recall the English and French war of the 18th century. Among his novels, The Last of the Mohicans Prairie and Deerslayer are the most famous ones. However, less corcerned about literature than about controversy and ideology, Cooper published some non-fictional works, such as his critical book The American Democrat (1838). Although his style was considered simple and naive by

He was also a critic of the political, social, and religious problems of the day. James Cooper (his mother's family name of Fenimore was legally added in 1826) was born in Burlington, N.J., on Sept. 15, 1789, the eleventh of 12 children of William Cooper, a pioneering landowner and developer in New Jersey and New York. When James was 14 months old, his father moved the family to a vast tract of wilderness at the headwaters of the Susquehanna River in New York State where, on a system of small land grants, he had established the village of Cooperstown at the foot of Otsego Lake. Here, in the "Manor House," later known as Otsego Hall, Cooper grew up, the privileged son of the "squire" of a primitive community. He enjoyed the amenities of a transplanted civilization while reading, in the writings of .....

His second book, The Spy (1821), was an immediate success, and with The Pioneers (1823) he began his series of Leatherstocking Tales. By 1826 when The Last of the Mohicans appeared, his standing as a major novelist was clearly established. From 1826 to 1833 Cooper and his family lived and traveled in France, Switzerland, Italy, and Germany. Two of his most successful works, The Prairie and The Red Rover The Pathfinder (1840) and The Deerslayer (1841).

James Fenimore Cooper The Last of the Mohicans The Prairie Introduction Novelist, born at Burlington, New Jersey, and educated at Yale College. In 1808 he entered the U.S. Navy, in which he remained for 3 years, an experience which was of immense future value to him as an author. It was not until 1821 that his first novel, Precaution , appeared. Its want of success did not discourage him, and in the next year (1822), he produced The Spy , which at once gained him a high place as a story-teller. He wrote over 30 novels, of which may be mentioned The Pioneers The Pilot The Last of the Mohicans The Prairie The Red Rover The Bravo The Pathfinder, The Deerslayer The Two Admirals (1842), and Satanstoe (1845). He also wrote a Naval History of the United States (1839). Cooper was possessed of remarkable narrative and descriptive powers, and could occasionally delineate character. He had the merit of opening up an entirely new field, and giving expression to the spirit of the New World, but his true range was limited, and he sometimes showed a lack of judgment in choosing subjects with which he was not fitted to deal. He was a proud and combative but honest and estimable man. Links Calender of Authors Resource site which contains a biography and further information on J.F. Cooper.

James Fenimore Cooper III. JAMES FENIMORE COOPER While the genius of Irving was winning for a newly developed American literature the recognition and respect of our kinsmen in England, his contemporary, James Fenimore Cooper, suddenly appeared in the field of letters to share in the distinction and the honor of widely recognized literary success. Our first notable writer of fiction, Cooper was in no sense a follower of the first American romancer, Charles Brockden Brown, nor an imitator of his fantastic and abnormal types. He stands rather as the originator of the novel of adventure in our literature, and is frequently termed "the American Scott." It is remarkable that many of the best English novelists have begun their careers as professional storytellers almost by accident. This is true of Richardson and Fielding, the fathers of the modern novel, as it was of their great forerunner, Defoe . Walter Scott was driven to romancing in prose when Lord Byron invaded so successfully his chosen field of metrical romance, Dickens and Thackeray stumbled into fiction through the hedgerows of journalism.

James Fenimore Cooper - (1789-1851) Cooperstown By Emily Blake I. Biography James Fenimore Cooper was born in Burlington, New Jersey, in 1789,and grew up in Cooperstown, New York, which was founded by his father. Cooper lived in the nineteenth century, in central New York, and the subject matter of his books (i.e American Indians and forests) comes from his experiences growing up as a young boy. His schooling included time spent at Yale University, before he was expelled for "prankish behavior" in 1805. After this, he became a sailor in the merchant marines, as well as a midshipman in the United States Navy. After six years in the Navy, Cooper left and married Susan DeLancey, and for some time he lived in Westchester County, New York, managing his wife's income-producing estates. James Fenimore Cooper did not actually start his writing until he was thirty years of age. Most of his earlier works dealt with matters, settings, and attitudes in Central New York, at the time that he was growing up. Later in his career he began to write about his social criticism of the American democracy. His later works also consisted of his abroad travels to Europe. James Fenimore Cooper has been regarded as the "first great American writer of fiction." His most famous work is
