James Fenimore Cooper's classic tale of survival and courage brings the war between two races to young readers. When two English sisters and their escorts are betrayed by their Huron guide, it is up to a colonial scout and a group of Mohican warriors to bring them safely to their father in the midst of the French and Indian War. The thrilling story of war, honor, and betrayal is retold in the Calico Illustrated Classics adaptation of Cooper's The Last of the Mohicans. Calico Chapter Books is an imprint of Magic Wagon, a division of ABDO Group. Grades 3-8.

This volume contains various personal and family writings, though Cooper never wrote any autobiographical works as such. They are: his account (written long afterwards) of a total solar eclipse he witnessed as a young man home from the sea; two sets of excerpts from his fragmentary diary published by his daughter Susan after his death; his preface to Susan's first novel; and the history he wrote of Cooperstown, his home village, founded by and named after his family.

This set of nine lives of US naval officers who served during the period from the Revolution to the war of 1812 were first written for magazine publication, but subsequently revised as a volume. They provide fascinating comparison to the more political concerns of the author's Histoy of the Navy of the United States.

Cooper had a keen and considerably academic interest in naval affairs, probably springing in part from his naval service as a young man. This resulted in several minor works and a few major ones, of which this, tracing the American force from pre-Revolutionary origins to the end of the war of 1812, is the most significant.
