A founding father of American literature, James Fenimore Cooper was one of America’s first professional novelists, and a pioneer of both the Western and the historical romance. Included here are his 1826 masterpiece The Last of the Mohicans and his 1821 classic The Spy, widely considered the world’s first espionage novel.
