By Taylor, Alan1995., Vintage Books / a division of Random House, Inc Call No: 974.774 TAY Availability:1 of 1 At Location(s) Summary Note: In 1786 William Cooper founded Cooperstown, N.Y., through a dodgy land deal. His town rose to become county seat, and Cooper became a judge and then a congressman. He lost most of the prestige he earned later, when he overstretched himself, and his local patronage weakened when he backed the Federalists against the victorious Republicans. Nonetheless, his son, James Fenimore Cooper, the early 19th century's best-selling novelist, wrote essentially a justification of his father in his third novel, The Pioneers (1823).
