E-book Title: FENIMORE COOPER'S LITERARY OFFENCES
Author: Mark Twain
Book Description: The Pathfinder and The Deerslayer stand at the head of Cooper's

Cooper is the greatest artist in the domain of romantic fiction
yet produced by America. --Wilkie Collins.

Literature in Yale, the Professor of English Literature in Columbia, and
