About the author
Born in Burlington, New Jersey, in 1789 and raised in Cooperstown, New York, he grew up close to the frontier landscapes that later filled his fiction. He briefly attended Yale, served in the U.S. Navy, and turned to writing in adulthood.
He became one of the first major American novelists, publishing a long run of popular books in the 1820s and beyond. His best-known works are the Leatherstocking Tales, a series featuring Natty Bumppo, including The Pioneers, The Last of the Mohicans, The Prairie, The Pathfinder, and The Deerslayer.
Alongside his frontier novels, he also wrote sea stories, political and social criticism, and travel writing. He died in Cooperstown in 1851, but his influence lasted: for many readers around the world, his novels helped define the image of early America.
