James Fenimore Cooper
This collection consists of many of Cooper's own papers, along with some papers of other family members, which were in the possession of Cooper's great-grandson, Paul Fenimore Cooper, Jr. It contains a number of manuscripts of Cooper's works, including four of his novels (_Red Rover_, _The Bravo_, _Satanstoe_, and _The Chainbearer_), along with fragments of other works. The papers also include extensive correspondence, notably with Cooper's American publisher Carey and Lea, and with members of the Cooper and De Lancey families. There are many letters written by Cooper to Commodore William Branford Shubrick (1790-1874). Also in the collection are business papers and ledgers, copies of contracts, deeds, and indentures.
William Cooper's Town
William Cooper and James Fenimore Cooper, a father and son who embodied the contradictions that divided America in the early years of the Republic, are brought to life in this Pulitzer Prize-winning book. William Cooper rose from humble origins to become a wealthy land speculator and U.S. congressman in what had until lately been the wilderness of upstate New York, but his high-handed style of governing resulted in his fall from power and political disgrace. His son James Fenimore Cooper became one of this country’s first popular novelists with a book, The Pioneers, that tried to come to terms with his father’s failure and imaginatively reclaim the estate he had lost. In William Cooper’s Town, Alan Taylor dramatizes the class between gentility and democracy that was one of the principal consequences of the American Revolution, a struggle that was waged both at the polls and on the pages of our national literature. Taylor shows how Americans resolved their revolution through the creation of new social reforms and new stories that evolved with the expansion of our frontier.
