His historical romances depicting frontier and Native American life from the 17th to the 19th centuries created a unique form of American literature. He lived much of his life in Cooperstown, New York, which was founded by his father William Cooper. 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. His best-known works are five historical novels of the frontier period 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. Among his most famous works is The Last of the Mohicans, often regarded as his masterpiece. During his career, he published numerous social, political, and historical works of fiction and nonfiction with the objective of nurturing an original American culture. More
